So far i think the App Library feels messy. I am not a big fan of the cluster of App icons everywhere, and i think there should be an option to hide the App Category Folders and go straight to List mode. What do you guys think?
I agree. Or at least include the list on the top half of the screen as a separate scrollable box.So far i think the App Library feels messy.

I do that too (one row of apps on the bottom of screen 1, and widgets covering the rest of screen 1). But i prefer search to launch apps, so the app library isn’t luring me to screen 2 yet.I like it so far, I got rid of my folders/pages and now just have my main page and the app library to the right - feels clean to me.
I like the UI of the App Library screen and the fact that it is scrollable. I just wish I could organize it so my folder or home screens could be the folders in the library underneath the top 2. I do like that each folder is 3 apps or a tap to all the rest.It’s pretty redundant for me as I have always had the most frequently used apps on the first page and folders with apps I don’t use as often already categorized as folders in the same way it does with the App library. At least doing it myself, I know where each app is. I don’t need Apple to do that for me. I just end up checking all the sections for the app??? Don’t get the advantage over folders besides the first two on top🤷🏽♂️
(Instagram is on the second page so I don’t use it as often by not seeing it IN MY FACE on the first page all the time. - Addicted)
Yeah, and for that you don't even need it. You can already search via Spotlight by swiping down on any of your homescreens.Not sure how I feel about App Library. Interesting approach, I like the fact you can hide pages. I’d like to have the option to rearrange the page order, and more customisability options within app library. Not sure I’ll use it more than just searching for the app tbh.

That brings me to another thing, I don't like: there are now THREE search bars.
The spotlight search by swiping down on homescreens.
The searchbar on the widget page on the far left, that looks completely different by the way (bigger, lower placed that spotlight searchbar) and the App-searchbar in the App Library.
With the one in the App Library, you can only search for Apps, while with the other two, you can search for anything (AND Apps of course).
The whole mess makes close to no sense to me ....
I agree to 100% 😁Yes it's a mess, and something that could be quite easily solved.
Ditch the Widget screen, or Today view as it's sometimes referred to, and replace with the App library.
All apps are then one swipe away from the first page and this also gives focus to the home screen pages being exclusively for widgets and favourite apps.
Swipe down on any page to access universal search, with dedicated app search in the App library. This all makes sense.
Yes. If someone says they want the widget screen, then don't put any apps on your first homepage and fill it with widgets. I guess the argument is that the widget screen itself can be screens long whereas you still have a dock and limited space on a home screen, but with widgets on the home screen and widget stacks, you shouldn't need an infinitely scrollable widget screen.I agree to 100% 😁
Let's report some feedback via the feedback app then... 😎

I actually have a blank home screen except for the dock itself. I must swipe once to the right (swiping left) to get to my second home screen which is where apps begin. I like that when I unlock my phone, the screen is clean, like a desktop. But I suspect I will change this to a widget filled screen. I also NEVER put apps in the last row of any home screen. I leave a blank row between the grid and the dock and have found that helpful.Already submitted feedback on this. Having thought about it some more I think the reason for the widget screen staying is to continue to support legacy widgets.
If it does have to stay I think the compromise here would be a toggle in Home Screen settings to turn it off. I’d also have it off by default for new users.
I’d do this straight away, currently I’ve just got a blank page when I swipe left now widgets are on the home screen pages. It’s wierd.
Same. I like it a lot.I like it so far, I got rid of my folders/pages and now just have my main page and the app library to the right - feels clean to me.
