Can't organize apps properly (solved by using iTunes)

[Branaghan]

Using the IPP 10.5.

I have put a few apps in here:

However everytime I want to organize this and/or add more apps I can't do it properly. The apps keep being removed from there by iOS 14 and being sent to the Home Screen and I can't really drag and drop them in this category (see above picture).

In the past this was possible, however now iOS resists the idea of dragging the icons and dropping them wherever I want.

no problems here, iPP 11”, iPadOS 14.4. It’s a 2 step process for me:
1. select app, activate jiggle mode, move app to desired app folder, folder content moves automatically to last page, drop app.
2. open the desired app folder, move to last page, select app icon, activate jiggle mode, move it to the left to the folder page and position you want.

writing down this marvellous procedure 🤪😁: I do not have folders with more than 4 pages... how many apps are in that folder?

That's the problem with moving apps inside the folder. iOS becomes unstable and keeps removing apps from there and putting them in the home screen. In the past this worked 100% fine, now it doesn't, I mean, ever since the last iOS versions. I keep trying to put an app into pages 2, 3 or 4 of that folder (see image from my 1st post) and iOS has some difficulty doing that without disorganizing the rest.

So I have to spend 5 minutes trying to fix something that should take less than 30 seconds.

And here you can see this is a problem:

Dragging app icons around home screen pages sometimes rearranges and sometimes not!

I have a couple of home screen pages on my iPhone 11 Pro, using iOS 14. Although, I think this exact same behavior happened on iOS 13 and also on iPhone 6. Some of the pages are full of app icons, some of the pages have empty space in the end. Note that these half-full pages are not the last...

P.S. iTunes was able to organize the way I wanted. So everytime I need to do this I am going to have to resort to this program. We need to drag and drop the icons from the apps, and then hit APPLY, to save the changes.
