Sometimes, you don't need to see an entire screen full of app icons, or you need an app installed, but don't need to tap it often. Here's how to easily store all your apps in the App Library in iOS 14.
If you're tired of scrolling through page after page of apps in your iPhone, iOS 14 has a new trick for you — hiding apps. All apps on your iPhone can now easily be stored in the App Library, and we can show you how to do it.
The App Library allows you to store all your apps in a single place, rather than having individual apps scattered across multiple home screens. Keeping apps in the App Library is especially useful if you've got apps that you need regular access to, but don't need to access daily.
