All apps sorted into Others

Hi!

I got my new iPhone 13 pro and synced it with the content of my old iPhone. Now all my apps are sorted into the “Other” section in App Library. How can I get the apps to sort correctly?

iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 15

The App Library will adjust the apps into the best known category once it has completed the analysis of the contents of your iPhone. How long has it been since the transfer has been completed? I recommend that you allow a few hours and then check again. You can continue to use your iPhone normally until then. If you still see the App Library in the same state then:

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

  • Press and quickly release Volume UP button
  • Press and quickly release Volume DOWN button
  • Press and Hold the SIDE button until an Apple logo appears and then release the Side button (Can take up to 20 seconds. (DO NOT release Side Button when invited to Slide Power OFF).
