Hi Christopher,
Thanks for confirming the same experience. I spoke with Apple Accessibility and got an excellent rep who told me a workaround I’ll be using in the future to delete apps. Go to Settings, General, iPhone storage, and swipe right until you reach the app listing which sorts all your apps in order of the most used to the least used storage amounts. With focus on the app you can single finger swipe up or down to access options to delete it, offload it, or activate it to view a screen showing the same options with info on how much space you’ll save by deleting or offloading it. This worked much better than going to the App Library to delete it.

I do the exact same thing you do, and I’ve experienced the same behavior you’re seeing. I haven’t reported this to Apple yet, but we need to do that. BTW, my workaround is to just find the app without going into the alphabetized list and deleting it that way. I find this is a bit better than copying it to a home screen first. -- Christopher (AKA CJ) =>÷ Chaltain at Outlook, USA From: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> <viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> > On Behalf Of Alan Lemly Sent: Friday, June 23, 2023 11:19 AM To: viphone@googlegroups.com <mailto:viphone@googlegroups.com> Subject: How do I delete an app from the App Library using Edit Mode? Hi List, I’m attempting to delete some apps never used from the growing list on my iPhone 13 Mini running iOS 16.5. I keep the apps I use often on multiple home screens but the ones seldom used are only located in the App Library listing found after the home screens. I like to place the App Library in an alphabetized listing in order to find the ones to delete as opposed to using Apple’s category listings. However, I am unable to enter Edit mode when using the alphabetize listing and can only invoke drag requiring me to first drag the app to be removed to a home screen where I can then invoke Edit mode and delete it. This seems to be a major design flaw so I’m wondering if I’m missing a better way to delete an app located only in the App Library. Many thanks if others can confirm what I’m experiencing and offer a quicker way to delete an app shown only in the App Library.
