Just curious have you deleted all your folders and just use the App Library and the default home Screen ...If so do you find it easier to navigate..

Thanks all
 
I used the library all the time and got rid of my folders. I found it much easier, once I got used to the new system. I prefer to have widgets on the home screen.

Yesterday, I reverted back to iOS 13, to get ready for a proper OTA update for iOS 14.

In the App Library do the most used apps stay on top of the folder or do you still have to open up the folder ?

Yep, all App library. Just disabled my folder pages and that's it. Love it. Glad it was easy (didn't have to manually remove them thankfully)
 
Thank you, one other thing can you actually move the apps around your self in the App Library folders ? Or is it all automatically arranged

Is it necessary to revert back to get the release version of iOS once it comes or can I go from iOS Beta -> iOS non-Beta?


I'm mainly using app library also.
 
Nope. Never look at it intentionally. I have only one Home Screen with my most used apps on it and two folders. One called Apple and one called 3rd Party. I just pull down search and type in any app I have to run it.
 
I do; but as a android user I wish I could open it from bottom up via the favorite apps bar instead of to the side

The problem is my spotlight isn’t working. I type in apps and the websites pop up requiring me to go to App Library to find.

Nope, always had my less frequently used apps in folders / categories of MY choosing on a 2nd page anyway so it adds nothing but confusion to me. Why should I guess what category an app may be in. If anything, I use spotlight and apps I use all the time are on my first page

I do.. but I have a "hidden" page of apps that I only make visible when I travel. Otherwise, it's home screen and app library only.
 
Yeah for lots of it I do just use the Library. That’s why I REALLY wish Apple’d let us sort it on our own. Actually ticks me me off.
But yeah 2 widgets and a handful of apps/shortcuts is all I have out.

Yeah, all App Library here. I used fancy folders shortcut to make ”folders” for all of my frequently used apps.

care to share it?
 
I predominantly use the search function or Siri Shortcuts to launch apps. So although in rarely using the App Library i very much appreciate how it’s tucked away all my apps neatly in one place and off my home screen.
