iOS 13 introduced a number of new features but it did not bring a redesigned home screen experience on the iPhone that many people were expecting. Apple also took away 3D Touch and replaced it with Haptic Touch which has made certain tasks a bit difficult. With 3D Touch, the process to rearrange and delete apps from the iOS home screen was simple since one just had to adjust how hard they would press on the display. With Haptic Touch, things become a bit confusing and something as simple as moving and deleting apps in iOS 13 has become difficult.
If you have recently upgraded your iPhone to iOS 13 or got a new iPhone 11 or iPhone 11 Pro running iOS 13 and are wondering how to move apps around on the home screen or delete apps from it, follow our guide below.
