iOS 14 Home Screen: Everything You Need to Know

[danny1305]

Another 90% useless iOS update from Apple.

Apple needs to:
1. redesign the notification center. It's ridiculous.
2. add haptic feedback to the keyboard, and make it possible to customize different intensities to your heart's content. It's crazy that you have no feedback whatsoever if you're typing and have the phone on mute.Those who are concerned with battery can just turn it off.
3. make it possible to adjust volume for independent apps and settings and not this general thing they're doing, forcing you to do it while the thing is being played, such as separate volume control for keyboard volume, music volume, ring volume, system volume.
4. add suggestions from the address book when you're dialing a phone number. Common now Apple.
5. make it possible to customize the texting app in every conceivable way. Font size, bubble size shape color.
6. make it possible to schedule a message to be sent at a certain time/date.
7. make it possible to move the icons anywhere you want to.
8. Use an OS-wide clipboard and make it not expire. You should be able to copy text now and paste it tomorrow if you want to.
9. Give us an option to NOT go to the next email but back to inbox after deleting an email.

No, they don’t. There’s a reason why they are one of the highest profiting companies in the world, and why you aren’t in position to make any decisions

Fun fact: For anyone who is still syncing using iTunes 12.6.5.3 (or maybe any version of iTunes), each sync will bug out all widgets you set up on the Home Screen and leave an empty home page or a bugged layout. I doubt Apple will fix that since in Catalina you can no longer manage Home Screen on finder anymore.

replace the app library's auto-generated folders with that alphabetical "jump to" list you get from the search bar.

Like this?

Is there any way to hide the search bar in the widget area. I need the space for my other widgets, and don't want a search bar when I either swipe left to the widget area, or drag down on my home screen.
Man I hope they fix the size of the widget area, as older widget now have less width - and I messes my iConnectHue widget.

Is anyone else surprised that the App Library has ALL apps? I thought it would only have the apps you removed from your home screens. When I swipe over to the App Library it’s suggesting things like Messages or email which, for many, are part of the bottom tray on every page. If an app was either on a page OR in the App Library I think it would be more useful IMHO. Curious what others think. Maybe I’m missing something.

It's there to be the collection of all the apps you have installed, whether or not you actually have them added to your home pages.

It’s supposed to be the library of all your apps. I’m more surprised you can’t choose the categories. And it’s based on usage so apps can jump around over time which doesn’t help to find them. I’m also surprised at how ugly and cluttered it is. I rather use Search to find the apps I can’t locate instead of this ugly mess, that’s for sure.
