What is an App Library on iPhone?

App Library is nothing but a bunch of algorithmically suggested folders presenting you with what you’re most likely to need access to at any given moment. Or where you can simply search an app in the most easiest way.

So how do you find the App Library on your iPhone? For that purpose simply swipe all the way to the very last, rightmost page of your iPhone’s home screen. Once you reach there, you’ll see all of your apps organized into several folders. These folders are created based on what sort of apps you have — you might see a folder for games, another folder for shopping, and another folder for ordering food, etc., for instance. But the thing is you can not choose or arrange the app according nor can rename the folders. But there are a few ways to browse through the apps on this screen, as well as you can use it to edit your home screen layout.
