Exploring IOS’s Key Flaw: App Library Functionality vs. Home Screen Design

Many users are frustrated by Apple’s lack of a straightforward method to identify installed apps that are not represented on the Home Screen. This issue becomes particularly evident for those who choose the “App Library Only” option, as it requires manual movement of apps to the Home Screen.

When considering reorganizing or re-adding apps to the Home Screen, it can be cumbersome to scroll through the App Library without any clear indicators. An effective solution would involve marking each app in the App Library to show whether it’s currently on the Home Screen.

This would provide quick visual cues for users, making it easier to manage their app organization. Another useful feature could be a summary, similar to what is provided for “Hidden Apps” in the Settings under the Apps section.

This would allow users to quickly see which apps are not only hidden but also which ones are simply residing in the App Library without a Home Screen presence. The demand for these features raises a question: am I alone in thinking that Apple could significantly improve the user experience in this area?

Enhanced visibility and organization tools would undoubtedly contribute to a more efficient and satisfying use of the app environment. In conclusion, implementing a simple marking system or summary feature in the App Library could alleviate a lot of frustration and streamline how users interact with their applications.

Many users, including myself, would welcome these enhancements.
