Another way to

    Settings.

    also see all added folders are removed and the original wallpaper is
    restored.
     

  • Add/organize folder. Adding
    folders on the Home screen is a quicker way to access certain apps on your
    iPhone. 
    Follow these steps:


  • To create a folder, drag one
    app onto another while arranging apps.
  • Rename the folder by tapping
    the folder name.
  • Now drag apps to add or
    remove them from that folder.
  • When you’re done, press the
    Home button.
Among other actions
you can do in the Home screen, include adding multiple pages of apps in a
folder, delete a folder, or drag out all apps to let the folder delete
automatically.
 

  • Changing Wallpaper. This is
    one common thing you do when you opt to personalize your Home screen. You
    can set your desired image or photo as wallpapers for your iPhone’s lock
    screen or Home screen. You can use either dynamic or still images as
    wallpaper. Here’s how to change the wallpaper on your new iPhone 6/6 Plus:


  • Go to Settings.
  • Select Wallpaper.
  • Choose a New Wallpaper.
You can use the
Perspective Zoom button when choosing an image for new wallpaper. It will help
you determine whether your chosen wallpaper is zoomed.

To access the
Perspective Zoom button on a wallpaper that you’ve already set is zoomed, you
can get to the Wallpaper setting, then tap the image of the Lock screen or Home
screen.
Hint: 

The
Perspective  Zoom button will only become
visible if Reduce Motion option under Accessibility Settings is turned OFF or
disabled. So if you are not seeing this button, you already know where to go
and what to do then.

  • Adjust screen brightness. You
    can change your iPhone’s screen brightness and set it to your desired
    level. To save or extend battery life, we recommend you to dim the screen
    or use Auto-brightness instead. Here’s how to adjust the screen brightness
    on your new iPhone 6.


  • Go to Settings.
  • Select Display &
    Brightness.
  • Tap on View below the Display
    Zoom.
  • Select Zoomed.
  • Tap on Set.
