Apple’s most recent iOS 14 update includes the new “App Library”.
The “App Library” is a consolidated page that holds all of your iPhone’s downloaded apps.
This is a great way to better organize the Apps on your iPhone, so they are easier to find when you need them.
The App Library is intelligently categorized based on various themes like Productivity, Finance or Social.
You can easily move apps into your App Library or delete apps within the App Library.
Moving Apps into Your App Library
Declutter your Home Screen by moving Apps from your Home Screen to the App Library.
To move an App into your App Library, touch & hold the App. Then, tap “Remove App”. Don’t worry, this won’t remove the app completely from your iPhone, you’ll get the option to move it instead.
Next, tap “Move app to App Library”.
This is a quick way to make good use of the App Library and enjoy a de-cluttered Home Screen.
Removing Apps
While you’re going through all your Apps in your App Library, it might be a good time to clear out any Apps you haven’t been using.
To remove an app from your iPhone, navigate to the App Library by swiping left as far as you can.
Then, touch and hold the app that you would like to delete and click Delete App.
Confirm your decision by tapping Delete App once more. It’s that simple!
Need this for iPad
Agree!
I agree. Although our iPad’s have larger screens it would still be nice to set this up.
I hope Apple hears you.
I have the latest update IOS 14, but I do not see the App Library. Long before this update, I manually created folders and moved the apps into the appropriate folder. But I would still like to see where the App Library is. Thanks in advance.
The App Library is a new way to organize your iPhone’s apps, introduced in iOS 14. To find it, simply swipe all the way to the very last, rightmost page of your iPhone’s home screen. Once there, you’ll see all of your apps organized into several folders.Sep 29, 2020
Works neat and cleans things up! Try it you’ll like it ! East to use once 14 is installed . Love it !
I created folders also and wanted to see the App Library. Thanks for asking.
Yes, I’ve moved apps to the App Library—now, how did I find them
Swipe left !
Swipe right to left and it will be the last screen.
Great question Joanne, That’s today’s lesson 🙂

Greetings! Once I’ve transferred my Apps in to the Apps Library, can I delete the apps from my Home Screen and will they continue to be in my Apps Library?
Thanks
Hi D Rich!
The app will be removed from your home screen once it is being transferred to the App Library.
App Library is a very good idea you can find Apps faster.
How do I put an app into a category. I love the categories, but now they’re all jumbled.
