If you’re like most people, you probably have an iPhone app list that’s alphabetical by name. But if you’re like me, you might want to change that. There are a lot of great iPhone apps out there that don’t have their own app list and can be used in many different ways. For example, the weather app Wunderground can be used to see all the weather conditions for a location, while the fitness tracker Jawbone UP can track your steps and calories burned. So how do you see an alphabetical list of all your iPhone apps? Well, there are a few different ways to do this. The first way is to use the App Store’s search bar and type in “iPhone apps.” This will give you a list of all the available apps on your device. The second way is to use the “App Store” home screen and select “Applications.” This will show all of the available applications on your device as well as any recent updates or changes. The third way is to use Spotlight on your device and type in “iPhone apps.” This will show all of the available applications on your device as well as any recent updates or changes that have been made to them since they were last listed in Spotlight.
To find the App Library, visit your iPhone’s Home screen and swipe left as many times as it takes to reach the App Library screen. This is always the last page after your Home screen icons. Once you’re there, you’ll see groups of app icons sorted automatically by category.
To see an alphabetical list of apps, swipe downward from the middle of the App Library screen or tap the search bar at the top.
A new screen will appear that lists your apps sorted by the first letter of each app’s name.
You can swipe your finger up and down to browse through the list. Tap an app to launch it. To add an app’s icon to your Home screen, long-press its icon and drag the icon to your desired position on your Home screen.
If you’d like to quickly scrub through the list of apps, slide your finger along the vertical letter index on the far right side of the screen, and the list will quickly navigate to that position.
You can also type a search in a box at the top of the screen, and the results will immediately appear below. If you tap a result, the app will launch.
If you’d like to return to the original App Library screen, tap “Cancel” just to the right of the search bar at the top of the screen. Very handy!
