Now that the App Library is out there for quite a while, what is your take on the feature?
I’d like a option to hide that hideous pig looking turd of a home bar 🤦♂️😳I would like an option to turn it off. Never used it and most likely never will, I manage my apps just fine.
After using both iPhones and Android, imo Apple's spotlight is so good that I don't really need an alphabetical list on my iPhone. On Android, OTOH, since the app drawer is just a tap/flick a way, it's faster to have an alphabetical list, at least for me. Just two different approach on the UI.If the default was the alphabetical view, it might be marginally more useful - more like the Android version of the same thing - but the Apple arbitrary placement of apps in their groups is useless to me. Still use multiple pages and the occasional folders within to organize my apps as makes sense to me.
And that is not a concept Apple has ever figured out - be it software or hardware.
Same exact setup here and the Siri suggestions widgets are better than I believed they could be. The app library screen itself is mostly useless since swiping down and typing the first couple letters of whatever app you want is way faster than trying to find it in the AL category folders.Quite like the feature.
When I upgraded to iOS 14, I decided that I was not going to deal with arranging and organizing my apps going forward. My main Home Screen (or first page) on my iPhone 8+ now consists of one long widget at the top, followed by two instances of the Siri suggestions widget, which provides me with 16 commonly used apps on the home page.
My second “page” on the Home Screen is App Library. I’ve moved all apps out of the Home Screen into the App Library. Whatever apps aren’t displayed to click on there, I just start typing in the search bar to get the full list of all apps installed A-Z.
It’s never been easier to find and open an app on iOS. While I understand it may be more difficult to curate folders and such I think the majority of users don’t keep up with that level of organization so this is a very welcome change.
Same here… two folders on my Home Screen and 10 apps, that gets me through my day just fine. The library works well and keeps me organized.Quite like the feature.
