Moving app to folder creates a duplicate icon on my iPad Pro

When moving apps from Home Screen to a folder, it duplicates the tab. Deleting or hiding the app still in the Home Screen, deletes both.


To fix this issue, all you need to do is:


  • Move the respective app to the relevant folder. Don’t touch the duplicate app on The Home Screen
  • Shut down your iPad fully & on again. When you are logged in, you’ll see the duplicate has gone
