As I am forever on Twitter, I was wondering if there is any way I

can use it on my Apple Watch? I can’t find an official app! Lou Grey

How do I create folders for my iPhone apps? I am very new to

iOS and cannot find the option anywhere! Blake James

1

Press an app

Press and hold on an app

icon until a contextual menu

appears and then select the ‘Edit

Home Screen’ option. Your apps

will then begin to shake...

2

Drag and drop

Now simply press, hold

and drag one app icon on top of

another to create a folder. You

can then tap on the folder name

and change it to what you want.

3

Revert layout

If you would like to return your

iOS screen to its original layout,

go to Settings>General>Reset

and then tap on the ‘Reset Home

Screen Layout’ option.

How can I create text

shortcuts on my Mac

to save me from having

to write out often-used

sentences all the time?

Go to System Preferences>

Keyboard and click on

the ‘Text’ tab. Now click

on the ‘+’ icon and, in the

first column, type in a text

shortcut that you can type

to trigger the longer version

of the text. In the second

column, write out the phrase

or sentence in full – don’t

worry, it’ll be the last time

you have to do it. When

you click off the table, the

shortcut will be saved for

future use. This can be a

very good time-saver.

You can create folders straight from the iOS touch

interface, although the process has been altered

slightly since the release of iOS 13. You can store

loads of apps within a single folder to help declutter

your Home screen and can create as many folders

as you want. The folders look like app icons, so tap

on one to expand the contents. Press and hold on a

folder to reveal the option to ‘Rename’.
