Why have all my apps moved to the Other folder?

This happens to me every couple weeks for the last several months. It just happened again so I thought I’d finally look into it. Everything was fine, my phone was locked. I unlocked it just now and all the downloaded apps are in the “Other” folder and all the stock apps are sorted into categories. I usually just ignore it for a few hours/days and it’ll go back to what it was. I don’t use a Home Screen as I like everything sorted and off the main screens.

I hope Apple fixes this soon.

I believe what they are referring to is that the apps they downloaded were originally in different folders in the App Library and then they all moved to the “Other” folder in the App Library for no reason

What helped me is force rest. After the restart, the apps rearranged back to their folders.

Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone

Mine done this today 🙄

That's useful to know. I seldom open app library to notice.

Hopefully apple will fix this soon.

App Library is a work in progress - what else can I say,

You shpuld continue to organise them into standard home screens til some substantial improvements in App Library.

Force new apps to the home screen on installation with

Settings, Home Screen, Add to Home Screen ✅

The only way this abomination called App Library will improve is if you Feedback to Apple with a feature request or Bug report

Product Feedback - Apple:

Nothing you can do except

1. feed back bug report as above and
2. Ignore the whole mess and only use Home Screens

If you are talking about the App Library we have no control over where the apps are organized.

Yes I know, App Library is rubbish and we cannot control it.

Maybe ios15 will help, who knows

this exact thing happened today and it won’t let me put them back 😡

So what to do
