iPhone Home Screen Archetypes

The Social Butterfly

Your phone is how you stay connected to everyone.

What it means

Your phone is a switchboard. Messaging, social, and the apps that keep you in everyone's loop sit front and center, because staying connected is the whole point. The risk: a home screen optimized for other people's updates and not your own focus.

Signs you're The Social Butterfly

  • Every messaging app, even the ones nobody uses anymore
  • Badge counts in the triple digits
  • Your dock is all conversations

How to raise your score

Cluster the social apps so they're one tap, not the entire first page. You keep the connection and get back a screen that isn't shouting at you.
