![]() ![]() I prefer to have everything on one page, so folders are key. Everything else is dropped thoughtlessly in between. The clock and calendars stay at the top, most-used apps stay at the bottom. The news aspect continues to getting better (and worse, in some ways - looking at you Daily Mail), and the endless opportunities for coy irony are extremely addicting. I follow a limited number of close, clever friends, and a few people with “aspirational” lifestyles. It took a while to figure out how it would work on my terms, but now Snapchat works for me. It’s revolutionized my exploring, and I almost always can find a place nearby that I’m excited to explore. Once I’m on the ground, I can see what’s nearby. Before traveling to a new city (or neighborhood in NYC), I research places I’m interested in, then star them on the map. The star “Save” function is my lifeline to culture. I’m able to read without a web connection, the layout is clean, and the writing is the best in the world. Organization is by use frequency and thumb position, so the ones on the right column definitely get the most love (I typically hold my phone in my right hand). Instead, I use the search function to find those less-frequently-used apps. All the rest are in four folders on the second page, which I never open. So the first page of my iPhone has all my most frequently used apps - the ones I want to only press a single button to open. I hate clutter, but I also hate extraneous taps. It helps me plan for photography based on moon/sun positions and other lighting considerations.įor when I’m trying to find specific aircraft I want to photograph in flight. ![]() I’m leaping into Instagram all the time - so much that I often do that brainless twitch of re-opening the app the second I close it, just from muscle memory. I keep all the social media apps that I don’t actually use, but feel obligated to be conversant with, in one folder that I never open - so, Vine, Snapchat, Periscope, whatever. (I have a big 6S Plus.) So Instagram has the premium spot, then messages, camera, Facebook, etc., radiating outward. ![]() Then, believe it or not, I place my most-most-used apps so they’re within easy reach of my thumb while holding the phone in my left hand. I cluster some into category folders and keep the most-used apps out in the open. I divide my iPhone into two app pages: most-used stuff on the home screen, and everything else on the second page. Whether it’s to tune out, research what’s new in the world or just to see little windows into professional athletes’ lives, Instagram is a favorite for sure. I use Instagram so frequently that it’d be a lie if I left it off this list. ![]() The way I see it, Robinhood leans more towards gambling than it does serious investing, but it’s an easy way to tune out for a bit and offers the possibility to make a bit of money. I have a few little folders on my home screen also - one for work apps and one for my finance apps - which helps keep things tidy.Īs for apps, Textra loads better than the stock Android messaging app, it’s fully customizable and has a built-in GIF tool that allows you to reply with snarky gifs faster than ever. It’s where I have access to my most frequently used apps, but still affords a view of my background image (which is always some form of wood). My method of organization forms a U on my home screen. ![]()
