Apps seem to have changed folder locations by themselves.

Does anyone else notice their apps have moved folders by themselves? Like the folders have been changed and most of my apps have moved from folders like “productivity” and “social” and are all lumped into “other”. I’ve just updated to 14.7.1

APPS moving out of folders into the APP library I have my Home Screen organized to my satisfaction. I have subsequent screens populated with folders with related APPs stored in them. Every so often the order of icons on my home screen or within folders changes. it changes because a random APP, in frequent use, has suddenly migrated to the APP LIBRARY. How fo I stop this? I already have new APPs NOT landing in the APP Library. why are frequently used APPs moving there?

apps in the app library The folders in my app library rearrange themselves all the time. Does anyone know how to stop it from doing this? It's really annoying!

Apps/folders have disappeared from home screen Out of the blue, the app icons disappeared from my navigation bar at the bottom of my Home Screen. So I reset my Home Screen and discovered I needed to reorganize ALL my over abundance of apps into folders. As I almost finished this grueling task, I realize that some of my folders have disappeared from my Home Screen. I can see them in the App Library, but not on the Home Screen. I don’t have the time to search through 200 apps and figure out which ones are missing. I’ve read that sometimes this is caused by trying to put widgets in folders, but all my apps had previously been in folders, so I’m not sure why it would just be a problem now. If that is the case though, how am I supposed to know which apps are just apps and can be put in folders and which apps are actually widgets? I’ve spent 3 hours on this mess and I’m ready to switch to an Android at this point.

Nothing you can do about that.

The App Library can't be organized.
