Apps are rearranged into different folders, not how I set them all up

I noticed the folder rearranging was done after the 18.1.1 update.


Why?


Shouldn’t personal customizations be left to the paying customer?


One of my folders is completely gone and I’ve resorted to searching for the app that used to be in the folder


Why do you think people hesitate to take updates? It’s software integration and release practices like in this case, that are not thorough enough.


oh and this ask a question page is pretty poor. Topic field, capitalization, etc







iPad Pro, iPadOS 18

The App Library sorts your installed Apps into multiple automatically curated App-groups - based upon App category information from the App Store.


While the App Library cannot be directly edited, you can create App Groups of your own choice on any Home Page - this being fully described in the iPad User Guide:
