App library
I avoid myself to use some app but the problem is there is an app library which is very easy to access those apps. I dont want the app library on my phone. Can someone help me? Thank you.

Hello jayr1016,
While you can't disable App Library, you can hide those unwanted apps with these steps:
"With iOS 14 and later, you can hide pages to streamline how your Home Screen looks and add them back whenever you want. Here's how to hide a page:
- Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
- Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
- Tap the circle under the page that you want to hide.
- Tap Done.
To unhide a page, repeat the steps above. Then use the App Library to quickly find apps hidden on different pages.
To remove pages from your Home Screen:
- Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
- Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
- Tap the circle under the page that you want to hide.
- Tap the Remove button
, then tap Remove.
When you remove a page from your Home Screen, the apps will still appear in the App Library."

We hope this helps.
Take care.
