number of app home pages on iPhone 6s with ios 9.3

Hi folks,
I have been adding apps to my phone I don't know how to use folders,
so I just kept creating more pages.
When my iPhone got to page 15 it seamed to not add any more pages.
I wasn't sure if I had filled all 15 pages or not also I noticed it added apps on the first and second page where I thought the apple preinstalled apps went.
I spoke to apple and the agent wasn't sure he said the phone had 11 pages then he said 19 pages and sent a follow up request.
Does any one know about this and I see as I add apps some older apps become not visible on the pages.
I can't find my walmart app for example but when I ask siri she opens it so it is still on the phone.
But I went threw the 15 pages and could not find it and other older apps but there are there still does the phone right over the apps and hide them is there a way to expand the screen to see the hidden apps?
Thanks
Carlos

You will in time. I forced myself to be 90 percent efficient with the basics at least by day 4 of owning my phone, but I do that with every piece of tech I own. Or at least that's a goal.

All you do is double tap and hold on the icons and until you hear that 3 tone noise, then move them around, or uninstall them. You will have to probably start with page 1 and work your way through the 15 or so. but there is a page limit for all phones. I think it's 11, or used to be.

But, moving them around that's a different story. I was wondering what happens so the old apps, when the pages get filled. Because it's showing the apps are on my phone, but I cannot find them on the pages. But Siri will open them. And I see them when I go into settings. Thank you, call Carlos

They are hidden in a special area, but that's all I know. I'd start moving stuff around on the first page then going to the second page and moving stuff from second page to first in to those folders. That's how I did it when I restored my phone back to new November of last year. Not fun and it took about 4 hours, and I was moving quickly to do this, it worked though.. My folders are in ABC order, but that's just me. I'm list organised.

Take care.
