Here\u2019s where it came from and how to use it.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"The_Origins_of_Apple_Jiggle_Mode\"><\/span>The Origins of Apple Jiggle Mode<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>Jiggle mode first originated on the iPhone in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.macworld.com\/article\/1131616\/iphone_update.html\">iPhone OS 1.13<\/a> back in 2008. It arrived as part of a significant update that allowed iPhone users to rearrange their Home screens on-device for the first time. Two years later, Apple filed a U.S. patent (<a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/patents.google.com\/patent\/US8423911B2\/en\">US 8,423,911 B2<\/a>, granted in 2013) regarding its Home-screen reorganization techniques. In the patent application, Apple described jiggle mode in the most clinical, patent-able way possible:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>For example, as illustrated in FIG. 5B, the selectable user interface objects jiggle as though they are floating on water (e.g., each respective selectable user interface object oscillates about a respective average position of the selectable user interface object on the display).<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Since that release in 2008, jiggle mode has been included in every version of iOS, iPadOS, and watchOS. On the Mac, jiggle mode <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/osxdaily.com\/2011\/07\/13\/enter-launchpad-jiggle-with-option-key-mac-os-x-lion\/\">first debuted in Launchpad<\/a> in 2011 as part of Mac OS X 10.7 Lion. Apple tvOS uses a different kind of jiggle mode (which first appeared in <a rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/www.wired.com\/2014\/03\/hide-unwanted-apple-tv-channels\/\">Apple TV System Update 6.1<\/a>) where only the app you\u2019re moving jiggles, not the entire screen of apps.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enter_Jiggle_Mode_on_an_iPhone_or_iPad\"><\/span>How to Enter Jiggle Mode on an iPhone or iPad<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692859\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/IMG_0537.gif.pagespeed.ce.S5ldmgixQb.gif\" alt=\"Animated jiggle mode on an iPad\" width=\"640\" height=\"480\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>On an iPhone or iPad, jiggle mode is the default method of rearranging icons on your Home screen. On newer versions of iOS and iPadOS, widgets also jiggle while editing them in the Today View. Here\u2019s how to launch Home screen jiggle mode:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>iOS 13 and iPadOS 13 or later:<\/strong> Tap and hold a blank area of your Home screen that includes no icons. Alternatively, tap and hold an app icon, then select \u201cEdit Home Screen\u201d from the menu that pops up.<\/li>\n<li><strong>iOS 12 and iPadOS 12 or earlier:<\/strong> Tap and hold an app icon until the icons begin to wiggle.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>While in jiggle mode, you can hold and drag icons to rearrange their order on your Home screen. You can also drag apps to or from the Dock. If you drop one icon on top of another, a folder will appear. To remove an icon, tap the tiny \u201cX\u201d button in the corner of the icon. In iOS 14 and up, you can also use jiggle mode to add or rearrange widgets on your Home screen.<\/p>\n<p><strong>RELATED:<\/strong> <strong><em>How to Organize Your iPhone Home Screen<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"How_to_Enter_Jiggle_Mode_on_an_Apple_Watch\"><\/span>How to Enter Jiggle Mode on an Apple Watch<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-full wp-image-692916\" src=\"https:\/\/www.howtogeek.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/09\/xapple_tv_jiggle.jpg.pagespeed.gp+jp+jw+pj+ws+js+rj+rp+rw+ri+cp+md.ic.mQ91Do-Kca.jpg\" alt=\"Apple Watch jiggle mode\" width=\"650\" height=\"432\" onload=\"pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\" onerror=\"this.onerror=null;pagespeed.lazyLoadImages.loadIfVisibleAndMaybeBeacon(this);\"\/><\/p>\n<p>Even Apple Watch includes a jiggle mode.
