When i swipe all the way to the right i get the app library page. I was wondering if it's possible to disable this page or something to that effect ?

Thank you.
 
It's a new feature:
App Library
The App Library is a new space at the end of your Home Screen pages that automatically organizes all of your apps into one simple, easy‑to‑navigate view..
Is that not working for you?
Could be you can configure that so it is your actual home screen. Maybe as 14 gets closer to release, you will be able to move the App Library page to another position, maybe even replace your main home screen.

Oh it works fine it's just that i only want 3 pages. My home screen, my not so common apps and my widget screen. I really have no need for the app library squares screen. You're right though i'll probably just have to wait it out. Thanks.
 
There isn't a way to remove it, and it's sounding like there won't be a way to remove. All you have to do is not swipe past your last page. :)

I think it has something to do with "muscle memory"
14 has different options for the interface, different than what you could do on previous iPhones anyway.

Reset those tired fingers for a bit...
Maybe: Remove your 2nd page entirely. Your less-used apps will still be on the App Library page, where you can organize those apps in a way that makes sense to you...(just an ill-informed suggestion :cool: )
 
God how stupid. Apple couldn't just do what Android did 10 years ago, have the ability to un-pin app shortcuts and a scrollable app-list(grid or list). Nothing fancier than that needed.

Ya good point. I'm gonna mess around with it and give it a chance. Cheers !

Good idea. I have some issues with the implementation and want more control over it, but I wouldn't take such a major new feature and just dismiss it without trying to figure out how to make it work for me.

I'm already looking forward to 15 as I don't think we'll see any modifications to the app library in 14.x releases, though one can hope.

Instead I can see Craig saying next year, "we heard from our users how great the app library is but how they wish... and so now the app library can do..."
 
The category folders set off my OCD, especially since they can't be reorganized/modified. Straight to the list view would make me very happy.
