How to Put an App into Wiggly Mode

Until you put an app into wiggle mode, you cannot delete or move it. Once you make the apps wiggle, they are mere puppets in your hands.

Step #1: Switch on Apple TV.

Step #2: Choose an app you wish to put in wiggle mode.

Step #3: Now you need to press and hold on the trackpad on Siri Remote. The pad is just above the Menu button; it is in matte-finish, so your finger feels better upon touch.

Step #4: Keep your finger pressed on the trackpad until the app hovers and starts to wiggle.

When the apps are in wiggle mode, you can rule them like a dictator.

Step #2: Once the icon begins to wiggle, release your finger or the A button and use the track pad (or D-pad) to move the app around the Home screen of your Apple TV.

Step #3: Click or press A to Exit mode when you find the perfect location to place that app.
