It’s been a few months since Apple rolled out the iOS 14 update publically and it brings in a lot of new features that make your experience with the iPhone better. Two major features that users loved from the iOS 14 update were Homescreen Widgets and App Library. If you are using iOS 14, I am sure most of you might be already familiar with the App Library however if you aren’t, don’t worry because we got your back.
App Library helps you to organize your apps in different categories so it becomes easier for you to launch the app you need. Earlier, every app you installed on iPhone directly came on your home screen, and it became a problem for the users who were using a lot of apps. However, with the introduction of the App Library, users can now remove the apps from their main screen and bring them up by going into the app library.
Here is a step-by-step guide on how you can change the default location for placing the newly downloaded app on your iPhone. Without waiting further, let’s get started.
