How to move apps on iPhone Air with iOS 27.01

Having trouble moving apps on the iPhone???

IT’S AMAZING!! It works!!

It only took a year to get this fixed. Now I can move apps without any problem on my iPhone Air using iOS 27.01.

It moves very quickly, and you have to even be careful because it moves so fast that you may have to back up a screen page because you pass it up.

Once you’re on the correct page, slide the icon exactly over the folder that you want to put it in. After a second or two, the folder will open and then you can put it into that folder to stay. Upgrading to iOS 27.01 was seamless and worked very well.

Which is exactly how it worked in like forever on every iPhone I've had and I get the new iPhone every year. But I'm glad it seems to be working for you. There certainly wasn't any issue on any phone I've had before iOS 27.0.1. Though I will say, I've never owned iPhone Air. I just find it hard to believe it worked any differently on the Air than it did on any other iPhone. We didn't see many people complaining about moving apps on iPhone Air.
