It must have finally invented them

The Tame Apple Press has got all excited about the fact that Apple has finally introduced customisable home screens, widgets, and picture in picture with iOS 14. The same features Android has supported for years but no one made a big song and dance about.

iOS 14 includes a redesign for the home screen on iPhones. A new feature called "App Library" sits at the bottom of home screen pages and automatically organizes various apps into groups.

The idea is to cut down on the amount of pages you need to scroll through to get to a specific app—instead, all the apps are available from one screen. So basically, Android phone's app drawer in drag.

Apple says the App Library will know to curate your apps into specific categories, such as "Apple Arcade" for games from that service or "Social" for social media apps. There's a search field located at the top of the App Library, with all your apps organised alphabetically in a list view underneath it.

The update also brings the ability to resize widgets and drag them from their usual place in the iPhone's "Today" view over to the home screen, much like how you would with a dedicated app.
