How can I fix the App Library choices on iPadOS 15?

The iPadOS 15 App library has my streaming applications distributed in at least four different groups. How can I put them all in the "Entertainment" group?

Apps are automatically sorted and arranged within the App Library. Whilst you can remove Apple Apps from the App Library, you cannot manually sort of move Apps to another App Group or folder within the Library.


However, you can freely move and arrange all installed Apps between your Home Pages and folders - and can even configure different views based upon Focus (another new feature of iPadOS15).


This Apple Support page describes how you can arrange Apps between you Home Pages - and how you can remove Apple Apps from the App Library:

More information about using Focus can be found here:

The iPad User Guide is also a rich source of frequently overlooked information. Having updated to iPadOS15, this resource may be worthwhile to review in order to better understand many of the new features introduced within iPadOS15. The Guide is available both online using a web browser (such as Safari), or as an Apple Books download:
