Move or remove a star

Moving a star (an app, folder, or shortcut) changes where it sits on its ring, the wheel of apps that blooms under your finger. You give it a new angle around the rim, a new orbit, or both.

#Move it

1. Press and hold empty sky (your home screen) to bloom the ring the star is on.
2. Slide onto the star you want to move, so it's touched.
3. Slide onto the re-place button (the slanted "sundial" line). The star lifts onto your finger.
4. Drag it around the ring for a new angle, and in or out for a new orbit.
5. Lift. It settles where you let go.

#Remove it

1. Hold the sky and slide onto the star.
2. Slide onto remove (−) and lift. The star leaves the ring.

To clear several at once, keep holding and tap − with a second finger each time. The ring stays open between them.

You can also open the star's editor with edit and tap "− remove".
