With iOS 14’s App Library, I went back through the App Store “purchased” view and redownloaded a ton of lesser used apps that I had previously deleted due to being OCD about my Home Screen organization. I went from 111 to 158 installed overall, and it got me wondering how that compares to others! That sounds like a lot of apps to me, but I swear I was being selective! :p

WOW! That’s unreal. Is that just from year after year of collecting without hesitation? I don’t even have that many logins in my password manager!

Oh no, it's years and years. I never "set up as a new phone". I always restore from a backup. I'm really good at finding apps that are temporarily free and really bad at remembering to give them a test run to see if I should keep them. :D

I used to do that so often! I definitely have at least 500 or so in my “not on this iPhone” list from over time.

236 and climbing. Never know when you might “need” a one-off.

Exactly! This is why App Library is so great. Can keep around the “one offs” without having to sort them :p

I had some nut on here keep insisting that I post a screenshot of my app count to "prove" it was what I said it was. Let me get right on that.

I agree about the App Library being so nice. I have an organized 1-2 pages and the rest is now just in the App Library.

lmfao I saw that, someone linked that thread above. No idea why he kept responding for everyone to "prove it," if you *actually* spend your time lying about a number that can be achieved by anyone with no effort whatsoever, you have bigger problems!
