To be clear, I do still use categorized folders – but only for apps I hardly ever use. For example, I went through a phase of using GarageBand a lot (to kind of pretend I could play an instrument… ), and that was in the same Entertainment folder as Kindle, which I used only if I’d forgotten to take my physical Kindle on a trip. Second, although a bunch of apps might belong in the same category, that might lump together apps I used all the time with apps I hardly ever used. Later, however, it became a much more general tool. When I first started using Dropbox, for example, it was almost exclusively for business use, so it went into a Business folder. First, there was the question of remembering how I’d categorized an app. And so on.īut as the number of apps grew, there came a point where the cracks in that approach started to show themselves. Camera and other photography-related apps were in a folder called Photography. For example, I had a bunch of chat apps in a folder called, imaginatively enough, Chat. Instead of organizing my apps by what they do, I organize them by where I am when I use them ….įor quite a while, I thought I had the most logical way to organize my apps: by category. But more than eight years later, I’m still using a method I first tried back in 2013 ( that screen size! those icons!). There are probably almost as many ways to organize your iPhone apps as there are iPhone users, and most of us have probably experimented with a bunch of them.
