Organizing your apps

To keep all of your apps organized, you can move apps around on the home screen, create folders for your apps, or delete 

apps that you no longer use.

Leave an app or close an app

Instead of closing an app when you're done using it, you can make multitasking easier by minimizing an app. You can see 
your open apps arranged as Active Frames on the home screen, and you can tap an Active Frame to return the app to full 
screen. Once you minimize an app, you can close it from the home screen.

1.

To minimize an app, swipe up from the bottom of the screen. The app is arranged as an Active Frame on the home 

screen.

2.

To close an app after you minimize it, on the home screen, on an Active Frame, tap   .

Tip: You can also minimize an app by pressing 

until the app is minimized. Once the app is minimized, you can highlight 

it on the home screen and press 

 again to close the app.

Move an app icon or open app around the home screen

You can rearrange the app icons or open apps on the home screen so that they are where you want them to be. For 
instance, if you're right-handed, you can arrange your frequently used apps on the right side of the screen. Then when 
you're using your BlackBerry device with one hand, it's easier to open those apps.

1.

On the home screen, touch and hold an app icon or open app until all of the icons or open apps start to blink.

2.

Drag the icon or app to a different location on the home screen and release your finger.
