If you have spent more than a minute hunting for an app on your home screens due to the multitude of apps that you own, you may want to consider organizing your smartphone for easy access. Considering how much we use our phones, organizing apps will help you feel focused and productive.
But what is the best way to organize your phone apps?
The organization is not one size fits all. Here are creative ways to organize apps on your smartphone so that you can not only find the app you are looking for but also make your phone look amazing.
Before you start on organization, start by decluttering your phone.
How To Organize Apps On Your Smartphone
Alphabetical Order
Categorizing your apps in alphabetical order creates a simple and systematic structure. There are two ways to sort your apps: Use the default app sort option on your device or label your folders like ‘A’ Folder and ‘B’ folder etc, and categorize the apps that start with A, B and so on in their respective folders.
Colour Coding
Colour coding isn’t just for notes, emails, and calendars. An app icon’s visual elements are specifically designed to be easily identifiable and memorable. If you are a visual learner, this is your best organizational option because your mind associates colour much more quickly.
To be extra, you can create a rainbow colour theme with colour coding.
Frequency Of Use
We all have those apps that we rely on almost every day. If you want to maximize your productivity, you can arrange your apps based on how often you use them. Put the apps you use the most on the first home screen and from top to bottom in order of frequency of use.
Functionality
You can easily list app folders with verb-based labels that focus on what you use them for, such as ‘watch’, ‘play’, ‘learn’, and so on, which helps you jump to the app you are looking for faster.
Hand Position
Another simple organization method is the ease of use when holding. Everyone has a preferred method of holding their phone. Simply place the most frequent apps you use closest to the finger that you use to operate the phone. This organizational scheme increases the speed at which you operate your phone.
