I came across an OK work around. If you goto Settings -> Siri & Search then scroll down and turn off the Suggested App toggle. This hid the app from displaying in the App Library but if you click the category or scroll the library as a list, it was still there. I hope Apple gives us more control over the App Library in an iOS 14 update. In my opinion, this is the most frustrating aspect of the update.

Iām already ok at organising my phone screen and apps in folders and Iād rather not have the App Library - it doesnāt offer me any more control or make finding a particular app easier. It seems like bloatware in a way.
Removal/deletion or the option to hide it would be good.
I understand some love it and perhaps theyād suggest I could āembraceā it.
Bit patronising though.
At least I can currently make a folder to put hardly/never used and unremovable apps in and hide that out of the way...
Thank you, this does help but what a stupid move by Apple to not give us the option to turn this off completely.
