apple configurator to organize my ipad and iphone

I recall in the "old days" i could just plug my iPhone or iPad into my MAC.. then i could organize the apps and screens (rather than do it on the actual device)

Is that still possible?

I tried Apple configurator but it appears thats for businesses/ schools with dozens of devices.


All i want is to organize apps on my devices via my mac...


thanks mucho!

You can still do it with Apple Configurator, as you suggested. Your devices don't have to be part of a business or school to use Apple Configurator. I've used it for my personal devices.


In Apple Configurator, select your device then click Actions > Modify > Home Screen Layout in the menubar to reorganize your icons.
