App Library is an organizational tool that houses every app on your iPhone and organizes them automatically according to categories (defined by Apple). This allows you to hide apps from your Home screens, reducing the number of them you have to scroll through to find an app. You can even hide entire Home screens too! And if you want to display the apps or Home screens again, it’s simple to do so. Follow these steps to get around in App Library:

1 Swipe from right to left on any Home screen until the App Library screen appears.App Library (shown in Figure 2-7) always resides on the screen immediately following the last Home screen.App Library organizes apps according to categories, such as Suggestions, Recently Added, and Social. Note that each category displays three larger app icons and four smaller app icons, with the exception of Suggestions, which displays four larger icons.

2 Tap one of the large apps to open it. When finished, press the Home button (or for iPhones without a Home button, swipe up on the screen) to exit the app and return to the App Library screen.

3 Tap one of the smaller apps to expand the category, and then tap the app you want to open. Tap near the top or bottom of the screen when viewing an expanded category to return to the App Library’s main screen.

4 Tap the search field at the top of App Library to see all apps listed alphabetically, as shown in Figure 2-8. To find a specific app, type its name using the keyboard.FIGURE 2-7FIGURE 2-8

5 To perform a quick action on an app icon in App Library, press and hold down on an app icon to open the quick actions menu, the contents of which will vary depending on what options the app offers.For example, Figure 2-9 shows the Instagram quick actions menu, which offers some options that aren’t available in the Camera app’s quick actions menu.

6 To remove an app from your Home screen (leaving it in App Library) or delete it from your iPhone, press and hold down on an app’s icon on the Home screen until the quick actions menu appears. Tap Remove App and then tap one of the selections shown in Figure 2-10. Tap Delete App to delete the app from your iPhone altogether, or tap Remove from Home Screen to remove the app from the Home screen but retain it in App Library.FIGURE 2-9FIGURE 2-10

7 To hide an entire Home screen, press and hold down on any area on a Home screen until all the icons begin to jiggle. Tap one of the small white dots just above the dock to view thumbnails of each of your Home screens, as shown in Figure 2-11. Tap the circle below a Home screen to hide or display it. (A visible Home screen displays a check mark in the circle.) Tap Done when you’re finished.The Home screen remains in App Library, and you can display it again later.
