Beautiful arrangement of icons on the iPhone. Complete order: How to organize icons on a smartphone. By subject without folders
Every iPhone or iPad owner must have paid attention to the “correct” arrangement of icons on the desktop at least once in their life. In the process of work, you must have come across the fact that iOS, for example, does not allow you to put two favorite applications in the middle of the screen and nothing else. But now everything has changed!
The iOS desktop, just like other elements of iOS, is practically not amenable to user customization without the device going through the jailbreak procedure. However, craftsmen managed to find at least two tricky ways to create empty space on a springboard, which we will discuss in this instruction.
2 . Open the downloaded image in the application A photo and tap the screen to hide the app interface elements.
Important: note that the selected image completely covers the screen (if you wish, you can increase or decrease it).
4. Open the regular Safari browser and follow this link.
5. Go to the " Create BLANK icons» and then press the button Add.
7. Select the screenshot image that was taken in step 3. Press the button Send.
After loading, your screenshot with the location of the icons will be displayed on the page.
8. Select the location where you want to see the empty space in the future, for example, a "2 × 2" square.
After these simple steps, a "dummy" with a piece of wallpaper will appear on the desktop. It remains to place it in the desired position.
11. Arrange the pacifiers as you like, for example, in the shape of a letter or figure:
By clicking on the dummy, you will immediately open the service page. Return to the previous page of the site and repeat the steps from step 8 to add new "dummies".
In order for the “dummy” not to stand out, ideally, you need to turn on the “Reduce Motion” function, for which go to Settings → Main → Universal access → Reduced motion and activate the corresponding switch.
Dummies are deleted in the same way as any application in iOS.
How to arrange icons on the iPhone and iPad anywhere on the home screen using the Teams app (for iOS 12 and later devices)
If you want to keep just a few programs on your desktop and - most importantly - arrange them the way you want ... Another solution is also offered by Apple's new application - Commands.
However, unlike the previous method, we only need one-color "wallpaper" on the desktop. Otherwise, all the charm of the trick is lost - you will see empty icons, and this is a complete failure. At the same time, this method allows you to add "magic" effects. However, first things first.
For this example, we will take a completely black “wallpaper”. This picture is already in the system settings of your iPhone or iPad: Settings → Wallpapers → Snapshots. The black image is the last one on the list. Install it.
Now open the Teams app (if you don't already have it, download it from the App Store, it doesn't come with iOS by default). Here's what needs to be done:
1. Click New team.
2. Touch the settings toggle icon in the upper right corner.
3. Click on the title field. To hide the name, copy the characters between the square brackets. You don't need to copy the brackets themselves.
4. Now let's change Icon. Click on the relevant line. Touch the inscription Home screen.
Here you can take a photo or choose a ready-made photo from the library. Of course, it must be the same color as the background image on the desktop. We just took a screenshot of a black photo (you can download it) and then specified it as an icon. Click Ready.
Click Add.
Done - our absolutely black icon has appeared on the desktop! As you can see, it merges with the surrounding background, and it seems that there is nothing on the screen except for the icons arranged in a very strange order for iOS.
Make as many icons as you need. To do this, just go to the Teams again and repeat the same actions with the already created shortcut.
P.S. By the way, if you wish, you can also attach useful actions to the “absolutely black” icons for the calendar, surfing the Internet, maps, contacts, Apple Music, etc. This is already an incredible level of magic - you just press your finger on a black background, and iOS suddenly starts doing something!
Fiction - but not for those who are in the subject.
Dear friends! Novice owners of mobile devices on the Android OS!
If you have already purchased a mobile device and turned it on, then by default you already have several desktops on the screen, which can be flipped in both directions. They also by default already have the main installed application icons.
In particular, the bottom line usually has the most popular ones: Phone, Contacts, Application manager,SMS messages and Internet. These icons are available on every desktop and, as a rule, do not turn over with a finger. Among the rest of the icons, you find those that you will hardly use, and which only clog up the already small table space. And at the same time, it is advisable for you to place new ones as you wish. How to do all this?
To stay up to date with what's new on the site, I recommend to subscribe to the periodic weekly mailing list "Tales of the Old User" on the Subscribe.ru portal.
For example, let's display a shortcut to the Word program on the desktop.
Press the Start button 1. Then move the cursor (without pressing the mouse buttons) on the All Programs 2 menu. A list of programs installed on your computer opens. Use the arrow to go to this list and hover over the folder you need - Microsoft Office 3.
A list of programs included with Microsoft Office will open. Move the cursor to the program we need:
Microsoft Office Word 2003 4
Now, hovering over Microsoft Office Word 2003, press the right mouse button.
A context menu will open in front of you.
Releasing the right mouse button, move the cursor to the Send 5 item, a submenu will open on the right, in which you select the Desktop ( create shortcut) 6 and press the left mouse button.
That's it, now you can admire the program shortcut that appears on the desktop and launch Microsoft Office Word with it.
If you did not find the program you need in the Windows Main Menu
But sometimes it is not possible to find the desired program in the main menu (someone accidentally or deliberately deleted the shortcut). Don't despair, it's fixable. If the program is installed on the computer, then you need to find the launching file of the program and display a shortcut from it to the desktop.
For the Word text editor, the path will be like this. Using Windows Explorer or the Total Commander file manager, find the Program Files folder, in it - the Microsoft Office folder, then
open the OFFICE11 folder and find the WINWORD.exe file in it
On the found file, right-click to call the context menu, and then act
in a proven way. Do the same with any other program.
Find its folder in Program Files, then find the file that launches the program in the folder
(most often it has the .exe extension, but there are others). If you don’t immediately understand which file is launching, double-click to try to launch it. If the program starts, then everything is correct, this is the main file. Display a shortcut from it to the desktop using the method,
shown above.
Note: You cannot delete anything in the Program Files folder with the Delete button. Otherwise, the program
which is in this folder will stop working!
How to rename desktop icon
If you don't like the name given to the shortcut by Windows, for example, Label for Word, you can change it.
To do this, hover the cursor over the shortcut (icon), right-click to call the context menu and select the item Rename. Immediately the caption text under the label will be highlighted and you can remove the words "Label for", or rename the label entirely. After that, be sure to press the Enter key - only then your name will be saved.
Paying attention that such actions (rename, delete) can be performed with labels only(they have a small black arrow in the lower left corner of the label). Files
programs located in their folders in Program Files cannot be renamed! Otherwise, they will stop working. You can only display labels from them, and do what you want with the labels!

How many apps are installed on your iPhone- Fifty or even a hundred? Over the past year, the number of applications, without which (as it turned out) we all cannot live a day, has at least doubled. The moment has come when it is simply necessary to organize these shortcuts so that they are all at hand. There are many ways to arrange icons so that you can use them more efficiently. We have collected some of the most rational and original ways.
Are you a visual? Then the way of arranging objects by color will fit not only for your closet with things, but also for your phone or tablet. Application icons are specially designed in such a way that they can be easily remembered and identified. If it is much easier for you to keep in mind the color of the icon of a particular program than its name, then it is logical to place them according to the shades of the rainbow - from red to purple. In the end result, such an arrangement will certainly please the eye.
Another original way of organizing icons for visuals was suggested by Mashable columnist Kylie Singh. Since folders can be labeled not only with text, but also with emoji, it is quite logical that a folder with a symbol, for example, notes, can contain music and applications associated with it. The folder with the palm tree can store your vacation photos, and the running man can hold the Runstatic and Nike+ sports apps.
There is a whole area of research dedicated to how much time we spend flicking our fingers around looking for the right app. Try to track exactly how you hold the phone and which areas of the screen are most accessible to your fingers. It is there that it is worth grouping the icons of the most frequently used applications. For example, if you are right-handed and use the phone with one hand, place them in a column along the right edge of the screen.
In order for the icons not to spread over five screens, you should create folders. The most obvious way to catalog applications is to collect similar things in separate folders. For many folders with category names , which are offered in the system by default (such as "Productivity", "Reference", "Entertainment") seem too vague. Instead, try to have folders with names that are clear to you. Think about what you use your phone for. Watch videos, play games, listen to music, read books or news? Label folders with the verbs “Watch”, “Listen”, “Read”, “Learn” and place the applications in them accordingly. This will help you navigate faster.
If you don't like using folders, try grouping your labels into rows by topic, for example, all Facebook, VKontakte, Twitter, and Tinder apps into a row of social networks, all planning apps, such as calendar, list tasks and an alarm clock, - into another thematic line and so on.
If you are used to navigating in alphabetical order, then the A to Z way of arranging icons will suit you. On an iPhone, this can be done automatically instead of arranging all the icons manually. Launch "Settings", select "General", then "Reset" and "Reset Home Settings". After that, all the icons of pre-installed Apple applications will be located by default, and other applications will be sorted alphabetically.
One of the most popular ways to organize app shortcuts is to arrange them in descending order by frequency of use. It is important to consider: in order not to litter the phone and have all the applications at hand, you should not start more than three screens. Arrange the most frequently used tools on the home screen, such as the camera; on the second page - useful applications, organized in folders by topic and category. On the third screen, throw off the applications that you use the least. You can also put games there that constantly distract you from business.
