How To Display 11+ Pages of iPhone Apps

iPhone - 12 Pages of Apps

In the latest iPhone OS upgrade, we were Align Centreallowed to have up to 11 viewable pages of apps. But if you look in the image to the right, you will see that there are 12 pages!

So how did I do that? This was a trick I discovered while moving around my icons. First, you have to be an app-aholic and have 11 pages of iPhone apps (and more hidden ones since they can’t be displayed). Then move some of the default apps you do not use like “Weather,” “Stocks,” “YouTube,” “Audio Memo,” etc. to the last page.

Now take one icon from the 10th page and drag it over to the 11th page. This will force the last icon to be booted off the page and into the iPhone abyss!

Now download another app to replace that empty space. And magically, a 12th page will be created with all the apps you weren’t able to view on it. I repeated the same steps and was able to make a 13th page.

It’s a nice trick, especially if you’re an iPhone app addict like me. There never seems to be enough pages! I think forcing a default icon off the pages will bring it back on an extra page, but I’m not quite sure. I was able to create the extra pages a few times, and after much testing, I was unable to duplicate it the 5th time. If you see a logical pattern or explanation on how to do this, please let me know. I can’t seem to bring back the 13th page, and would like to. ;) Also note, this is not a jailbroken iPhone.

    A while back a friend of mine text me these instructions on how to get more than 11 pages of apps on my iPhone. I now have 13 thanks to the hack so here’s the guide. From what I see, there is no jailbreak required to do this.

    1. Create 11 pages of apps by dragging apps to all pages. There can be blank spots.
    2. Fill the first page & last page full of apps.
    3. Drag the Voice Memos app to the very last page and last location in the bottom right. (Not on the dock)
    4. Move one app up from the dock so the Voice Memos app gets bumped off. Hit the home button so they stop wiggling.
    5. Hold down power button and turn off. Turn back on.

    That’s it! When iPhone boots up it should create a new page. It seems the best amount is 19 pages. That way you can still see all the dots I’ve also heard that it doesn’t work on older firmware. I’m using 3.1.2.
