For this reason, and thanks to our trick, you will learn how to prevent apps from appearing by default on your desktop iPhone in iOS 14.
How to prevent apps from automatically appearing on the iPhone desktop
There is a little trick that not everyone knows and that allows Apps do not automatically appear on the desktop of your iPhone when you install them, causing clutter in the shortcuts of your favorite apps. Read on to keep your desktop iPhone as clean and computer as possible.
Activate the app library in iOS 14
Thanks to iOS 14, Manzana introduced the function app library, a tool that automatically groups all iPhone apps to organize them by categories and thus avoid a chaos of apps on the main screen of your apple terminal. Although this function does not work as expected, since Apps continue to be added automatically to the home screen of the iPhone when installing them.
So, if you want the applications to be installed directly on the iOS 14 app library Instead of them appearing by default on the iPhone desktop, follow these steps:
- Access the Settings of the iPhone.
- Go to the Starting screen of the iPhone.
- In section Recently downloaded apps click on the option Only in the app library to mark that option as active.
And that's it; In this way, the iPhone will add recently installed apps to the library without first going through the desktop, which will keep the main screen of your iPhone much cleaner and tidier without dozens and dozens of shortcuts to apps that have nothing to do with each other or that you even remember having installed.
With all apps installing directly into the app library, you can then rearrange them however you want and move the applications you consider to the desktop; We recommend that you do it with the apps that you use the most.
