Ask DN: What's your iPhone setup in 2020?

    I recently moved all my app to be sorted by colour. Nerdy I know but there was a reason.

    I've been toying with the idea for a while but decided to try it to "ungroup" social media apps with an aim of becoming less distracted... it means I now make swipes to get to things.

    What I've found is, social media usage is down, but I can find an app that I want quicker than before. I think because I can imagine the icon/icon colour and I know roughly where it will be now (rather than buried in a folder). I still use pull down to search, but I'm rocking iPhone 7 and that search is slow AF these days

    Been a positive experience, I'd recommend trying it.

    (Oh I keep my homepage the same, IMPORTANT everyday apps)

      I like the idea of organised by colour. I keep all my apps in folders, apart from the ones I use everyday which are on the home screen. when I need an app, I use the pull down search too (iPhone XS) and its faster than me trying to find an app by looking through folders.

      Not nerdy at all.. I am right handed and try to group apps in clusters with majority of apps in specific folder's. Instagram is buried and chat/compose are almost out of reach — ha! I use Search for anything non-essential
