      @ThegreatBrandon Should be free? No, it shouldn't . Could be free but it isn't. Do your own wallpapers then instead of expecting some stranger to give it to you. Personally i wouldn't charge money for it, but to each his own.

      I know I sound crazy , but somehow , sometimes, I would rather click the icon, sometimes I would swipe. I think it depends on the situation / what I am doing/ how I am holding the phone. and there are times, maybe coz my greasy hand or screen protector, the swipe doesnt work the first time.
      I know I am the minority but that's why I still keep it that way lol

    Please don't get me wrong, the info shared in this video is great - and I get, why some people use this. On the other hand though: I achieve similar level of "sanity" by doing basically nothing fancy. Top half of my single home screen are 1/4th widgets displaying useful information, 2x4 icons beneath are the apps I use most often, dock the apps I use regularly. Disabled notifications for basically everything other than calls/messages. Easy to develop muscle-memory - minimal set-up time. If I don't want to get disturbed > enable Do not disturb. Occasionally I launch an app with spotlight. The end.

    Tip for removing icons from home screen: you can select multiple at the same time like you did when moving them. If you swipe to your App Drawer and release in there, they are removed from Home Screen 👍

    I love that finally we can rearrange the layout of our apps, I just hate the fact that I feel there is so much wasted room between the bottom apps bar and the rest of the screen, plus if you choose the no text option it looks even worse because that gap increases... I wish we could change the size of the grid and the icons like on Android...

      @cammaclean1115 I got this from perplexityai :To display the same app on multiple Home Screen pages in iOS 18, you can use the App Library. First, locate the app in the App Library, press and hold it, then drag it to a Home Screen page. Repeat this process to add the app to additional pages. This method creates shortcuts to the same app on different pages without moving the original icon.

    A trick that would be awesome is if there was a way to make the password manager save the passwords it generates for websites when you update them. Yes, it has a button for this, but the button doesn’t actually do anything. Having to ‘forgot password’ and reset every password every time I access a website is surprisingly annoying. Having a way for my phone, computer and iPad to remember the passwords it comes up with would be a huge time saver. Any ideas?
