There’s no single correct method to organize the apps on one’s smartphone or pack those icons neatly in phone folders. But there are ways to arrange them such that they become not only aesthetically pleasing but also efficiently categorized or organized. Here are some tips and tricks to follow.

Arrange folders by theme: Go by themes such as social media, travel, or shop; if one has kids who favor gaming apps, dump all those games in there. To find those folders more quickly, use the search function for Android. For iPhones, access the search function by going to the home screen and scrolling all the way to the left. At the top is a search bar for looking up any app.
Delete unused apps: This is one of the easiest, handiest ways to declutter one’s mobile phone interface. Do this regularly to increase storage space, get better organized, and actually extend battery life. If a mobile app has not been used in a month, it is considered non-essential. Others would consider six months or so months as the basis for deleting apps, so it would still depend on what one thinks is a healthy span of time to keep an app.
Sort those apps: With all of one’s apps on the Home screen, put them in an arrangement one wishes simply by pressing an app and dragging it wherever preferred. The first screen might best have all of the most important apps, while social apps are best kept together and not mingling with essential work or study apps. Arrange them alphabetically, by color, or whatever feels right.
