Hello, I'm struggling - I have heaps of Apps and have spent a lot of time organising them all into folders on my iPhone. I now want that to be mirrored on my iPad. This used to be done with iTunes but now I have no idea. Any help greatly appreciated, thanks.
iPhone X, iOS 13

The ability to move apps in iTunes in the past was removed a good time back. There would not be an app that would have access to the information necessary to map out all of your maps and folders. Given the major changes that have occurred in iTunes over the years, I don't see them changing it back to allow for managing apps in iTunes again.

The best way to do that would be to create a backup of the iPhone and restore the iPad to that backup. That would match the two of them together. Both devices need to be on the same iOS, or the iPad can be on one higher than the iPhone, but cannot be on one lower. And any app that is not supported on the iPad won't show up.

There are many apps on iPad which are not same as iPhone.
Now even that, iPhones have iOS and iPads have iPadOS, different OS.
I have not come across any feature that will do this for you. I am not even aware of any such feature between two iPhones that use the same Apple ID leave alone iPad and iPhone.

Thanks for replying - I realise some apps don't work on both but it seems logical that common ones would copy the folder allocation... That would make life SOOOOO much easier. As it is, my Apps are in different folders on each device because there are heaps and when I set each device up, I can't recall where I put them on the other device. I reckon to manually mirror them, it could take me a couple of frustrating hours :(

Thanks very much... I don't really want to do this because if I do have any iPad specific Apps, I'll lose those but I really appreciate the advice. I was hoping there would be an 'Apple' or third party App that made this task of organising homescreens/folders easier :-)
