Rename Folders On iPhone Faster Using 3D Touch

Rename folder on iPhone logoYou probably already know that you can organize your apps in folders to have a better overview on your Home Screen. Then you also know that you can give your folders names that describe the content better than the suggested name. These names can be changed later on. But there is another – much faster – way to do this, thanks to 3D Touch

Prerequisites

For this trick to work you will need a 3D Touch capable iPhone (iPhone 6s and later), because this trick uses the Quick Action menu that is only available on later iPhone models.

  2. Click and hold the name of the app at the very top.
