How to backup CarPlay widget layouts on iPhone?

I have to reselect and reorder CarPlay widget layouts after I restore my phone from backup.

Is there a setting I’m missing to get it to backup the widget layouts or save them to iCloud?

Restoring iPad apps with Backup Hi, I recently got a new iPad Pro 6th gen. It prompted me to restore from backup during setup, since I had an older iPad (I think an iPad2?) I used to use a lot. The backup seems to have mostly worked, restoring my wallpapers and such, but the few apps I had downloaded before are stuck with the little cloud + arrow icon. Whenever I tap them, they appear to do nothing. It also seems I can’t redownload them from the AppStore without having to repurchase them. I’d love to transfer the in-app data over. I’m particularly focused on the app Music Studio by Steinberg, but it would be cool to get my Geometry Dash data as well. Thank you!

Difficulty in organising App Library on iPhone I struggled with organizing the App Library for a long time until I finally figured it out. Get your iPhone EXACTLY the way you want it other than the terribly organized App Library. Go to iCloud in settings and backup your iPhone. Now reset the IPhone back to factory, keeping your eSIMs, etc. When you initialize the iPhone, select the backup you just performed and include the apps. This is key. Now just wait it out. Let everything download. When it’s done, everything in the App Library is organized as best as it can be depending on the app developer’s categorization. That’s it. Enjoy! [Re-Titled by Moderator]
