Well friends, do you want reorder app icons on your iPhone's home screen? Apple technically does not allow you place the display icon as per your wish. However, with the help of this article you can make use of blank icons to place the icons the way you desire. That means no blank spaces in-between apps and this is now possible without jail-breaking, you can place your entire icons in a single menu and set your home-screen.
We would like to thanks the great developers William Stoy, Gabriel Whaley, and Eric Aragon, true home screen customization is no longer exclusive to jail-breakers. Through the use of their simple web application, anyone with an iPhone 5 or higher can customize the layout of their home screen with just a few simple steps. As you all know icons can only be placed in a linear manner. But now, users can easily arrange their app icons anywhere on a grid on the home-screen without having to place them in a linear manner. In this tutorial you will learn how to arrange your icons anywhere in a single menu button on your home-screen as per your wish that too without jail-breaking.

All you have to do is hold an app until it starts to jiggle and then move it anywhere on the home-screen. With the help of most popular Makeover, you no longer need to make use of blank icons with ugly shadows or other ways to create a blank space between your app icons.
Kindly follow the steps given below:
- Navigate to Makeovr: The service itself is called Makeovr, so go ahead to Makovr.io using Safari on your iPhone to get the process started. Again, this will only work on an iPhone 5 or higher running iOS 8—iPad and iPod touch are not supported.
-
Choose Your Wallpaper: The website provides easy-to-follow instructions, where the first real step requires you to either choose a Makeovr wallpaper or to use your own. As you all know how to keep your own wallpaper, in this I will show you how to fix a Makeovr wallpaper, grab it from the website, save it, and apply it to your home screen with Perspective Zoom set off. As shown in the images below.

- Generate Placeholder: The application will do its magic and essentially create cutouts of your wallpaper that work as invisible placeholder icons. These are the pieces you use to create spaces in-between apps and reformat your layout.
- To export a particular piece, tap on it until its outlined in red, then tap the Share icon and choose the 'Add to Home Screen' option. It will then ask you to label the icon; skip that part and select 'Done'.
Strategically place the placeholder icon wherever you need it to create the effect you are going for. You can get as creative as you want. To remove the placeholder icons, just delete them like you would an app.
