App Library

How often does the App Library refresh?

I don't like the layout and arrangement of the folders in my App Library and was wondering how often it refreshes itself?

Hi nick2041,


"From your Home Screen, swipe left until you see the App Library. Your apps are automatically sorted into categories. For example, you might see your social media apps under a Social category. The apps that you use most frequently will automatically reorder based on your usage. When you install new apps, they'll be added to your App Library, but you can change where new apps get downloaded."

If you can't delete an app that's not made by Apple, disable parental controls, then try deleting the app again.
