Put your most used apps on the Dock

remain Apps in the Dock at the bottom of the iPad screen The same regardless of which Home screen is displayed. This area is a great home for your most-used apps. Up to 15 apps can fit in the iPad dock (depending on the model), so there's plenty of room to customize your docking experience. After the first half-dozen apps, the icons shrink to accommodate the additional ones. You can resize the Dock in the Settings app.

The Dock automatically displays your three most recently used apps. Even if you don't always have an app in the Dock, it may be ready to launch from the Dock if you recently opened it.

You can put an app on the Dock the same way you move it:

2. With your finger, tap and drag the app to the Dock. Wait for other apps on the Dock to move out of the way.
3. Free your finger.

Advice: You can also move apps in the Dock so the order suits your preferences.

If your Dock is full or if you need a default app on the Dock, move apps from the Dock as you would move apps from anywhere. When you move an app from the Dock, the other apps on the Dock are repositioned.

Put folders on the Dock

The Dock is designed for your most frequently used apps, while the Home screen is for your folders and other apps. However, you can use the Home screen for your most popular apps and dock anything else. To do this, fill the Dock with folders. Placing a folder on the Dock is a great way to access multiple apps from any Home screen.

So, instead of using the Dock for apps you want easy access to, leave those apps on the first page of your Home screen. Then, place your other apps in folders on the Dock.

Sort apps alphabetically

There's no way to permanently keep your apps organized alphabetically, but you can sort apps without moving each one. Here's the solution.

To access any app, you can use the individual App Library screen or, as mentioned above, search for the app you want. The App Library works the same way on iPad as it does on iPhone.
