Rearrange your Home screen. Select an icon on the Home screen, double-tap and hold
your finger on the screen until you hear three rising tones. The item’s relative location is
described as you drag. Lift your finger when the icon is in its new location. Drag an icon to
the edge of the screen to move it to another Home screen. You can continue to select and
move items until you press the Home button.

Learn VoiceOver gestures
Important: VoiceOver changes the gestures you use to control iPhone. When VoiceOver is
on, you must use VoiceOver gestures to operate iPhone—even to turn VoiceOver off.
When VoiceOver is on, standard touchscreen gestures have different effects, and additional
gestures let you move around the screen and control individual items. VoiceOver gestures
include two-, three-, and four-finger taps and swipes. For best results using multifinger
gestures, let your fingers touch the screen with some space between them.
You can use different techniques to perform VoiceOver gestures. For example, you can
perform a two-finger tap using two fingers on one hand, or one finger on each hand. You can
even use your thumbs. Some people use a split-tap gesture: instead of selecting an item
and double-tapping, touch and hold an item with one finger, then tap the screen with another
finger. If your iPhone supports it, you can use 3D Touch to perform gestures. See
.
Try different techniques to discover which works best for you. If a gesture doesn’t work, try
a quicker movement, especially for a double-tap or swipe gesture. To swipe, try brushing the
screen quickly with your finger or fingers.
In VoiceOver settings, you can enter a special area where you can practice VoiceOver
