App library Grid vs List view

As an apple's iPhone user, i would like to see all the app installed on my device in an easy and interactive way

The current grid view does not allow an easy and intuitive way to browse or quickly search option. the strange random "folders" and the fact that i have to click it to open it only to then select the app i want. but just a swipe away there is the perfect view - the list view.

It allows me to clearly see all installed apps in a searchable and easy to navigate list.

They are shown in a large and legible size font with the icon next to it.

I suggest to allow users to select the prefered view for this page.

Another point that will increase intractability with the apps: by long pressing, the menu should include 2 features that are missing: "Open app in Appstore" and "Show app's settings page". these two features are missing and would be a great addition to the menu.

iPhone 12 mini, iOS 18

You can certainly post your thoughts here, but if you want Apple to see them, this isn't the place to do that. This is a user to user ONLY forum, which no one, with the exception of moderators participate. Apple isn't going to see your thoughts here, so it's academic at best. And that isn't really the purpose of this forum. This is where users who need help with their devices come to seek guidance from other users who may be able to help them. There is NOTHING anyone on this forum can say or do about how the App Library works. We didn't design it. We can't change it.

If you want Apple to see your thoughts, use the links SravanKrA provided.
