Removing App Library and Time from Home Screen

When will there be a way to remove or disable the App Library which appears when I accidentally swipe right on my phone?


When will there be a way to remove the time from the Home Screen?


i quite enjoyed having everything in folders, visible from 1 screen on my iPhone. It was clear and there wasn’t a bunch of clutter displayed or pages to scroll through.


Now I have to intentionally avoid swiping on my phone because I don’t like seeing all of that clutter.


Likewise, I’d like to be able to remove the time from the top banner of the Home Screen. I can swipe left to view the Search screen if I want to view the time, or view it from my Lock Screen. I’ve made a home screen background to disguise the time in the meantime.


When will I be able to customize our Home Screen by removing these features I don’t like? Or is there a way already?


Thanks!

NEVER. It is considered by many users to be a very valuable feature, and has saved many users who have accidentally deleted an app from their Home screen.

Probably never, but you can suggest it to Apple→Product Feedback - Apple
