New Question
Did a full reset on my iPhone 8Plus, not from backup, due to issues with no notification sounds. Obviously, I was upgraded to iOS 14.01.
The first dealing with the App Library simply ticked me off. Enough said.
Another annoyance is the “notification” at the top of the screen that tells me where something I just pasted came from. For example, I copied a password from my password app, when I pasted it into Firefox, I was told that I pasted from Password App. Why??? And how do I shut it off??
Also, why did they move settings from 1 place to another?
Last 1 - the home button setting in Haptics - what is the difference between the 3 settings? I don’t get anything different.
 
Yes, adding extra space and resources for a feature that cannot be removed and is preinstalled is basically the definition of bloatware.

And do you know what "some" means? It's a word meaning "an unspecified number or amount of people or things." I don't have a stat that has an objective measure. But I do see three people in this thread that don't want it, so it's applicable. The very reason I included the word "some" was to avoid arguments like this one, where a bigger metric would be applicable. So, yes, some people don't want the App Library taking up space on their phone using resources for something they don't want.

Now, since you're into being needlessly pedantic (and wrong), I want you to forward me your stats and study for "everyone I know that has an iPhone" who told you they are "really liking the App Library." Somehow, I think you didn't poll everyone you know. That's exactly the type of hyperbole I avoided by saying "some/most."

I mean you specifically wrote “some/MOST” (emphasis mine), so your argument kinda falls flat. As far as it running in the background and causing bloat, etc - a) the App Library is on the last page and you can easily ignore it; b) while I haven’t jail broken an iPhone in quite sometime, in the past when I have, Springboard (the background service which runs the Home Screen), took up very little resources, and virtually none when in the background - I highly doubt adding an additional page that is essentially a list of folders has changed that in any meaningful manner; c) my “everyone I know” was somewhat in jest as to emphasis the absurdity of your “some/most” claim (though that in jest obviously got lost in translation) - though it is true that the people I know who have upgraded to iOS 14 (and shared their experiences with me) are very much enjoying the App Library; and finally d) your whole post really just deserves the following emoji 🤪, but alas I still felt the need to fully respond.
