Rearranging apps (software icons) on your Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu is a simple process using the touch screen and stylus.
To rearrange apps on your 3DS, you use the stylus to select an icon, move it to an intermediate area, scroll to the new position, and then place it.
Here's a breakdown of the steps:
Steps to Rearrange Software on Your 3DS HOME Menu
The Nintendo 3DS HOME Menu displays your installed software as icons on the touch screen. You can customize the layout to your preference.
Follow these simple steps to move icons:
-
Select and Lift the Icon: Using your stylus, tap and hold the software icon you wish to move. Slide it upwards towards the center of the screen. This action lifts the icon from its current position and places it in a temporary holding area above the main icon grid.
- Reference Point 1: Use the stylus to select the icon you want to move and then slide it up to the center of the screen. ...
-
Find the New Spot: While the icon is held above, use the stylus to scroll left or right through the software list on the lower part of the screen. Continue scrolling until you reach the desired location where you want to place the icon. You'll see the grid shift to accommodate the new position.
- Reference Point 2: Scroll through the software list until you come to the spot you want to place the software icon. ...
-
Place the Icon: Once you have located the empty spot or the position where you want the icon to reside, tap the icon once again (the one you are currently holding) and slide it downwards into its new location within the grid.
- Reference Point 3: Tap the icon once again and slide it into its new location.
Your software icon is now in its new position on the HOME Menu. Other icons will automatically shift to fill the gap left by the moved icon or make space for it. You can repeat this process for any other icons you wish to move.
This method allows you to organize your games, applications, and other software icons for easier access and a personalized look on your 3DS system.
