Hey everyone.
I have several folders with apps that I wanted to move at once. I read that for this to work you tap on one folder and wait for it to start wiggling… once that happen you then slightly move it in the screen, and while holding it, you tap on the other folders. Sadly it doesn’t work. I get that red plus icon for millisecond and then it disappears. Is there an issue with the iOS?

Apologies if I’m just a bit slow, but I’m not sure I get what you mean?

Where are you trying to move them to?

If you just want to move them around the screen or to another screen, then move them one at a time.

What are you trying to accomplish by moving two at once?

Yes I’m trying to move them to another screen. I am a bit ocd when it comes to keeping my screens clean. The instruction for moving folders clearly doesn’t work.

I’m trying to accomplish of moving over 20 folders full of apps in one multiple folder move, instead of one by one. Simple task that works on individual apps icons but fails on folders. It’s there but only for a brief blink of those red icons and disappear.

In with you now. To be honest, I wasn’t even aware multiple single app icons could be moved at once… (slow, as I said 😂)

But I’ve just tried to do multiple folder moves like you and it’s not working for me either, but single app icons are fine.
