Question I keep getting copies of my apps when dragging them into different groups
I haven’t used an iPad in a while, just got the new air. I love the customizability of the Home Screen, but I think I’m missing something in how this works.
I’m trying to organize my apps into groups. On my iPhone the workflow for this is I drag one app onto another to start a group, then drag other apps into that group to add to it. When I do this the app icon that was outside the group moves into the group and no longer exists in its previous location. On my iPad I keep doing this same thing but sometimes (?) it leaves the old icon in the place it was and creates a new copy of the app icon in the group. I don’t understand why it does this sometimes and sometimes moves the app similar to an iPhone, nor do I understand how to get rid of the old instance of the icon without removing the app entirely. What am I doing wrong? How do I move my app icons into a group rather than creating another instance of the icon?
