Any one else feels iOS 14 App library feature risks privacy ?

Without a way to control appearance of applications they are displayed upfront on an order you don’t control.

Lets assume you have an app on your phone and you wish to hide, or not expose it on the main screen.

It could be anything from recording, spy app, job seek, social, finance, gambling or anything you may not want to expose.

Previously you were able to at least organize it deep in a folder pages.

Now with Apps library it will appear upfront in an order you don’t control such as apps on the social as well as on the recently added.

So for example you may previously hide app on your phone maybe in a folder, but now with ios 14 if your child or someone who try to guide you on the phone, swipe and get to App Library page they will get to see these apps.

You get the point.

The best option Apple, is to give your user basic control at least to switch it off if not to organize.

Anyone else agree?
