How can I lock a folder on my iPhone Home screen? I want to move an icon from the home screen to a folder on the home screen. When the icon gets near the folder it moves, and I cannot drag it into the folder. How do I lock down the folder so that it does not move? [Re-Titled by Moderator]

Move Files only copies in Files App While on ipad os 15.1 and now 16.1 when using the Files App, it shows the option to MOVE a file, but it only copies it, not moves it. Basically Move File is acting the same as Copy File. In Files App: Right-click a file to get the drop down menu. (I have a mouse attached) Choose MOVE It pops up a window for the destination, but oddly it says COPY here, not MOVE. So you still have to go back to the original directory and manually delete the old file after you've tried to move it. Is there a fix?

Don't open the File.

Tap & hold on the File, then drag to the Home screen & drop it.
