This article will tell you how to add apps to your Home screen from your App Library. A convenient feature introduced with iOS 14 is the ability to download apps straight to your app library. This keeps your Home screen free from the clutter of apps you only use occasionally and saves you from scrolling through every single app you've ever downloaded whenever you're navigating your Home Screen. But what about the apps you do want to add to your Home Screen? Fortunately, you don't have to go in and temporarily turn off the Download Straight to App Library feature if you want just one or two apps on your Home Screen. There is a quick and easy way to add apps to your Home screen from your App Library. Here is how to do it.
