Do you need to learn how to change your iPhone icons? If so, you may have tried over and over again to accomplish the task of changing your iPhone icons. Fortunately, it is one of the easiest things you can do. Follow these simple steps to begin changing your iPhone icons.

Things you'll need:

  • An iPhone
  1. Long press any icon. On your iPhone's screen, you would need to press and hold an icon for at least three minutes. The icons all will become opaque and begin to get wobbly. Don't worry, your phone is not broken, but this step is necessary to change your iPhone's icons around.
  2. Drag icons. Select any icon you would want to change. Be careful to not double tab the screen or all icons will freeze back in place. Once you touch an icon, you can move it around your iPhone's screen anywhere you like. Please note that all icons that are not default will have a little "X" in the upper right hand corner of the icon. Do not tap the "X" unless you wish to delete the icon from your iPhone.
  3. Hit your "Home" button. Once you are complete with changing your iPhone icons, you will need to revert from edit mode back to normal mode. You can do this by hitting your "Home" button. You would only need to hit the home button once. Hitting the home button more than once could cause you to navigate away from the current screen.
