If you want to clean up the home screen on your iPhone, you can group application icons together in folders. Folders can contain any combination of apps you want to include, but for ease of accessibility it's best to keep related apps together. You can add or remove apps from a folder at any point if you've recently downloaded or need to delete one. Each folder created can hold nine icons per page, and each folder can contain multiple pages. You need to combine at least two apps to create a folder.
