Hi lyle236,

Welcome to the Apple Community


Wondering which iOS version you have installed on your iPhone 8.


With iOS 14 and later, there are new ways to find and organize the apps on your iPhone —

so you see what you want, where you want.


Apple support have articles online that may help:

NB: See if you can choose your iOS version at the top of the pages that open from the links below


Eg: FIRST: Find your apps in App Library on iPhone:

Says: "Find and open an app in App Library

    1. Go to the Home Screen, then swipe left past all your Home Screen pages to get to App Library.
    2. Tap the search field at the top of the screen, then enter the name of the app you’re looking for. Or scroll up and down to browse the alphabetical list.
    3. To open an app, tap it."


THEN

Move an app from App Library to the Home Screen

You can add an app in App Library to the Home Screen, unless it’s already there.

Touch and hold the app, then tap Add to Home Screen (available only if the app isn’t already on the Home Screen).

The app appears on the Home Screen and in App Library.
