Had same problem on my IP XS, tried deleting (ect) no joy. Reported it to apple but then a restart fixed it
but it came back a day later. Was going to do a clean install but the GM seems to have fixed it, fingers crossed.
Got a tip for us?

Did it occur to you that the re-indexing processor load might have something to do with that?
That’s a possibility.
I couldn’t do it though. I went for a run and everytime I used Siri with my AirPods Pro for little things like turning up the volume now she talks back before she does the action. Like I say volume up and before on 13.7 there was a short delay and then it would just happen and now she says stuff like hold on a second and then says there I changed it. I don’t like that.
Also everytime you activate Siri with the AirPods on 14 it wakes up your iPhone screen and it doesn’t do that on 13.
I just kept finding new little annoying changes and bugs that were driving me nuts and I don’t use widgets at all. Also my battery drained about 15% more on my run than it usually did.
I just don’t like 14 in its current state. Maybe I’ll try again around Christmas time when things are more polished. Right now it doesn’t feel good using it with all the bugs and little annoying changes that I was finding. To each their own.
I don’t understand the App Library’s organization. They should just be grouped based on the category in the App Store.
I’m using folders much like I did in ios13. The App Library is reserved for things I either never or only rarely need. Be nice if I could hide stuff permanently I never use but, (sigh) apple. I look at the library as the android app drawer of iOS. I use my android devices much the same way. Stuff I use is kept handy stuff I don’t is delegated to the app drawer/App Library. I forget it is there.
Isn't that what they're grouped as? I thought they were grouped by the category chosen by the developer, which should be the same as the app store category. I could be wrong.
Going by various comments on this sort of thing, it seems like they are grouped based on the category specified by the developer.
I guess that depends if the developer is the main driver of the category where an app appears in the App Store or if it's more that Apple has control over that, and if the categories actually match up and are the same.
That’s what I though too, but “Creativity” isn’t an actual category in the App Store so not sure what’s generating the folders. No big deal just thought it’s more work than necessary lol
See I thought the same, but the categories don’t match what’s in the App Store so wondering if developers have to select a category the store AND one for the Library (which doesn’t really make sense). Maybe the App Store is developer driven and the Library is Apple driven?
Or perhaps the other way around, or some sort of combination that works somewhat differently between those two places.
Curious why you have apps that you "never... need".
You also have to consider that, as a developer, you can choose TWO categories for your app... which one gets used for App Library is (probably) an Apple choice... but the fact remains, the categories are chosen by the developer as a part of the meta data for the App Store listing.

Not seeing that on either my Xs Max of 2020 SE.
I’m really disliking these widgets it’s a waste of space, all I wanted from the reminders one is to tell me when my next tablets are due but all it does is say 1 reminder and what to take what’s the point of these if they can’t give you info, I understand they aren’t interactive but at least before it told me when to take them, I’m finding the widgets to be a waste of time and just there for show
So I can't long press WhatsApp to view recent chats now, is this a bug or have they just removed it? I really hope not because I use it all the time.
Ahh didn’t know developers could choose 2 categories. Then I’m sure that’s what Apple is pulling from based on how many apps you have that possibly list the combination of both/one or the other. Thanks for the explanation!
"Old style" widgets like WhatApp's are no longer available when long pressing app icons. They can still be added to the widget screen left of the home screen though.
Upgraded last night and left on charger overnight. Now off charger, battery seems to be dropping a few % every hour even without using my phone. We'll see after a few days but didn't notice this in previous OS updates.
Realistically speaking those weren't/aren't widgets. It seems rather odd that they were just simply gotten rid of.
In some way I'm glad (for lack of a better word) that I sometimes don't end up making use of some features where they become part of my routine and then end up disappearing almost randomly.
