Is there a way that one can sync app folder organization across both devises? I just recently got an iPad and I am finding the apps individually across several ‘pages’ overwhelming. It would be wonderful if I could automatically have apps in same labeled folders as I have on my iPhone. Any information will be greatly appreciated.
iPhone 12 Pro Max
Thank you @LotusPilot for this information. While I understand screen layout would not be the same, just having the option to have the apps in the same folders would save a lot of time and frustration. In my iPhone I have at least 95% of my apps in folders and I am accustomed to using them that way. Recreating the folders with the number of apps I have is going to be very time consuming. It has made me not want to use my new iPad as it seems too overwhelming.

Having many Apps installed on similar devices myself, while freely acknowledging that a little effort may be required, the process isn’t onerous.
Apple do invite submission of comments and feature requests via its Product Feedback portal. If you would like to see changes or introduction of new features in a future iOS/iPadOS release, this would be the most appropriate channel through which to communicate your wishes to Apple:
The iPad and iPhone screens differ significantly in their dimensions and layout. As a consequence, screen layout (including App Folders) cannot be synchronised between iPhone and iPad.
While the App Folders can be manually recreated, you’ll not be able to automatically mirror the screen layout between devices. Also consider that in addition to the icon grid-layout that differing between devices, the iPad also supports placement of Widgets on any of the Home Screens - a feature not available to iPhone.
Sync apps in same folders on iPhone and iPad?
