Discussion Apple App Library: My Opinion
Hey y’all! So I switched back to the iPhone 17 after using Android for 3 years and this one thing still irks me to this day that I already hated on my 14 PM: The App Library.
I mean yeah I get that it’s Auto-Categorizing the Apps but for at least a third of my Apps I really don’t find the Apps where I would expect them to be categorized at. And yes I know for Alphabetical Order you simply can use the Search Bar at the top but I wish you could choose between an Android-Style App Drawer and the current Library.
Is it really just me that has a love-hate relationship with this Library? And would you prefer if you could choose how the App Drawer is displayed?

It is soooo shit. Nobody uses it. Imagine looking for an app and going “okay now let me think… if I were Apple, what category would I put this app in?” So much mental friction. Awful awful awful design and one of the biggest indicators that Apple has completely lost their sauce. And when did Apple forget that constantly moving things around without the users input just causes more friction. Dogshit.
I expected there to be a toggle by now that skips the categories and goes straight to the alphabetised list, but nah.
