How to Customize Newly Downloaded App Settings on iPad

By Danny Maiorca 0 comments Last updated February 10, 2023

iPads are useful in multiple settings. You can use them if you’re a student, and they’re also handy for freelancers and employees. If you want to use them for personal use, such as watching Apple TV+ programs, you’ll also find the screen size particularly helpful.

Once upon a time, iPad apps would automatically appear on your home screen after you downloaded them. Now, however, you have more flexibility. This article will show you how to customize newly-downloaded app settings on your device.

What’s the Difference Between Adding Apps to the Home Screen or Library?

If you opt to have your newly-downloaded apps appear on your home screen, nothing will differ compared to how iPads used to work. The app will show up on your screen once your device has downloaded it, and you’ll be able to access it by clicking on the app icon.

In contrast, allowing newly-downloaded apps to only appear in your library means that you will not see them on your home screen. You can, however, find them by swiping all the way to the right; here, you’ll see the App Library section.

In your App Library, newly-downloaded apps will appear in the Recently Added folder. On your iPad home screen, you can also type the name of the app in the search bar.

Customizing your newly-downloaded app settings on your iPad isn’t too difficult. Below, you’ll find the steps you need to follow.

3. Look for the Newly Downloaded Apps section. Here, you’ll find two options: Add to Home Screen and App Library Only. Select whichever applies to your personal needs.

Changing Your Newly Downloaded App Settings in iPadOS Is Simple

These days, you have many more customization options than was previously the case. You can adjust your newly-downloaded app settings on your iPad however you feel is necessary, and your apps will be easy to access – regardless of your choice.

Now that you’ve read this article, you’ve got all the information you need to customize your newly-downloaded app settings in iPadOS. You might want to stop your apps from appearing on the home screen if you think that you’ll spend too much time on them, and you may also find it easier to manage how your home screen looks by doing so.

Regardless of your choice, you can change your settings whenever you want.
