Turn off / disable App Library in iOS 14

LOL. Nothing false at all about not ever having to use the App Library. Perhaps you don't understand how to swipe between home pages?

But you are expressing your hatred of this feature to the wrong audience. This forum is for users to help other users ONLY. Apple isn't here. Apple doesn't participate here. Apple created a feature, which you clearly don't like. Tell Apple how you feel, by providing feedback in the one place it will be read.

Feedback - iPhone - Apple

As this is a user to user only forum, no one here can grant your wish.

Instead of asking us users for something we have absolutely no way to give it to you, tell Apple.

Use this link --> Feedback - iPhone - Apple

Not sure why you think any of us users care if you go Android? If you think Android is a better option for you, that's why there's free choice.

Whether you appreciate or don't appreciate the App Library, complaining about it here is a waste of your time. Apple doesn't actively participate here, so your complaining gets you nothing.

Let Apple know how you fee via this link --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

Personally, the App Library to me is simply nothing worthy of angst. It's there. I don't need or use it. Problem solved.

“if you don’t like it don’t swipe all the way to the right” is idiotic.

As is responding to the original poster who hasn't been to this discussion since Sept.

Nobody here can change this. We are not Apple.

The App Library, which is nothing more than a pointer to your apps is NOT reducing your battery capacity in any way. What reduces battery capacity is cycles of recharging the battery.

See this link about optimizing your battery --> iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support

So organize them the way you want. Apple didn't take that away from you. ALL they did was add a library on the last page for those who might find the feature useful. You don't have to EVER use it.

But if you don't like it, tell Apple. You certainly haven't done anything here other than share your opinion with other users on this user to user only forum.

And that has ABSOLUTELY NOTHING to do with the App Library on your phone. Nothing at all. Batteries are consumable parts. They will continue to lose their ability to hold a full charge until they need to be replaced.

See this link about performance --> iPhone Battery and Performance - Apple Support

You are just sharing your voice with other users on this user to user only forum. You have not shared your voice with Apple.

I just came to add my voice to the "we SUPER DISLIKE this App Library 'feature'" *GIANT fingerquotes* and that is putting it lightly.

Why did you make the effort to tell anyone here that? No one reading this thread can make the changes you want. If you want Apple to know your thoughts, use the feedback page:

iPhone should provide the feature to disable? Can Apply tell us why App Library is mandatory?? We know how to group them? Don’t we

Apple isn't here as has been stated over and over in this thread. Apple isn't going to respond to you or anyone in this thread.

We don't speak for Apple. If you think Apple should give you an option for anything, you need to tell Apple directly. You can use this link --> https://www.apple.com/feedback/iphone.html

I disagree. And, apparently, so do others.

But what about the 100s of millions that like the feature?

Does Apple even do Voice of Customer data gathering.

Again... 100s of millions don't want or perhaps like me, don't care if the feature is removed.

also the fact that when I tried to scroll down the whole screen goes small what’s up with that

That is the Reachability feature:

It's been a feature for years.

Why don't put it all to left side.

Because there's already something else there. However, you can let Apple know your thoughts on the matter here:

Product Feedback - Apple

Meanwhile, try putting your frequently used apps on the first page. You can always get to that quickly. You can also put your most favorites in the bar at the bottom of the screen.

Perhaps the worst thing about Apple/iOS is when Apple users voice a legitimate complaint in an Apple forum, the Apple Fan Boi's in unison deride the complaining user.

Looking past the insult and name calling... spelling it a different way changes nothing.

This is not an Apple Forum for complaints. You knew this as you agreed to Apple's terms and conditions when you signed in.

It is a place to ask and have answered, primarily by non Apple volunteers, technical support questions.

The technical question has been asked and answered multiple times.

The App Library at present can't be removed.

It's understood you don't like this answer, but yet it is the only answer we can provide here.

I wish some apps to be PRIVATE. Banking apps, investment apps, etc. PRIVATE! Hidden in folders, so if I let someone use my phone it’s like the app isn’t likely to be found.

Now with this App Library it’s all exposed.

They are no more exposed than they were before the App Library. If your phone is unlocked, people can page through your homepages and open your folders. Apple has never offered a way to keep app private other than by putting a password on the phone itself.

You can let Apple know what you'd like to see here:
