TECHBOOK shows you in a video and a step-by-step guide how to move and rearrange multiple apps on your iPhone home screen at once. This works without having to group the apps in a folder.

More Secret iOS Features
The trick to move multiple apps at once on the iPhone is not the only feature in iOS that many users might not know. Did you know, for example, that you can unlock your iPhone with a voice command? And do you know how to copy text with a finger swipe? In an emergency, the iPhone even offers a secret emergency mode that automatically calls the emergency number when activated.
