Tweak This Setting to Declutter Your iPad’s Home Screen

If you’ve downloaded iPadOS 15 onto your iPad, you have the App Library feature on your home screen. The App Library provides a searchable look at all of your installed iPad apps, grouped by category. Tapping the search box also brings up a full alphabetical list of your apps.

While the iPhone stashes the App Library neatly to the right of your home screen pages, the iPad version of the App Library sits squarely in your dock. It takes up valuable real estate on your screen, and it’s frankly a bit of an eyesore.

If you don’t use the App Library much, you might want to remove it from your iPad’s dock, but it’s not that simple. Unlike the other apps in your dock, the App Library can’t be removed simply by pressing down on it and tapping an “x” button.

Luckily, there’s a way to remove the App Library. It’s just hidden in your iPad settings. As a bonus, you can also remove “Recent Apps” from your dock at the same time if you’d like.

Read on to learn how to remove the App Library icon from the dock on your iPad running iPadOS 15. For more, read 10 fun features to check out on your iPad and nine things to do immediately after you get a new iPad.

As soon as you do, the App Library icon will disappear from your dock, giving you more room for other apps. Don’t worry, though — you’ll still be able to access the feature by swiping left on your home screen until it appears. You can also use the search feature by swiping down anywhere on your home screen and then typing the name of the app you’re looking for, if the App Library just isn’t your thing.
