How to Remove Recently Added from App Library

Are you looking to declutter your App Library on your iPhone or iPad? The “Recently Added” section can accumulate unnecessary apps, making it difficult to find the ones you actually use. In this article, we will guide you through the steps on how to remove recently added apps from your App Library. By following these simple instructions, you can keep your App Library organized and accessible.

1. Access the App Library

The first step is to access the App Library. On your iPhone or iPad, swipe up from the bottom of the screen (or from the top-right corner on the iPad) to reveal the App Library. This feature was introduced with iOS 13 and iPadOS 13, so it is available on all compatible devices.

2. Navigate to the Recently Added Section

Once you are in the App Library, you will see various sections, including “Recently Added.” To view the apps you have recently added, simply scroll down until you find the “Recently Added” section.

3. Select the App You Want to Remove

In the “Recently Added” section, you will see a list of apps. To remove an app, tap on it to select it. If you want to remove multiple apps at once, you can tap on each app while holding the “Select” button.

4. Remove the App(s)

After selecting the app(s) you want to remove, tap the “Remove” button at the bottom of the screen. A confirmation dialog will appear, asking if you are sure you want to remove the app(s). Tap “Remove” again to confirm your decision.

5. Organize Your App Library

Once the app(s) have been removed from the “Recently Added” section, you can organize your App Library further by placing them in appropriate folders or sections. To do this, simply tap and hold an app, then drag it to the desired location.

6. Delete Apps from the App Library Permanently

If you want to delete an app from your device entirely, you can remove it from the App Library and then delete it from your device. To do this, follow the steps above to remove the app from the “Recently Added” section, then go to the home screen and tap and hold the app icon until it starts to wiggle. Tap the “x” button on the app icon, then confirm the deletion.

By following these steps, you can easily remove recently added apps from your App Library and keep your device organized. Remember, a clutter-free App Library will make it easier for you to find and enjoy your favorite apps.
