My remote works fine on my updated tvOS
I do not like the App Library.
It is ridiculous that I cannot edit the names, tiles, etc.
It is ridiculous that that the lower right 4 app spot can show 4 apps with notifications that are not accurate to the apps shown. Example Dropbox shows 2. Click on Dropbox. App Library opens a window with even more apps. Dropbox has no notifications. Reminder has 2 notifications. And yes, I have provided online feedback to Apple.
BTW, I found it interesting that 2 home screens are expected as seen when editing Home Screen after removing all apps from home screens.
BTW2, I deleted all the apps from Home Screen. I exited editing. I now had an empty Home Screen. Why do I need an empty Home Screen?
Only if you want a clean view of your wallpaper.

Iāve been on iOS14 since late Wednesday, but Spotlight search still does not show iOS apps downloaded to my iPhone. The search at the top of the App Library works well, but navigating to there is a pain. Is there a way to quickly go from the any Home Screen to the App Library? Since I have hundred of apps (many in folders), paging through all of them to get to the App Library is cumbersome.
Note that when you start typing in Spotlight search, a Search in Apps section appears. However, the only 2 options are to Search App Store or Search Maps. This would a logical place for a Search App Library option.

Normal Spotlight search on my iPhone finds apps in my App Library. I hardly āneedā to go to the App Library.
Maybe reboot phone?
It is possible for the Spotlight index to get corrupted. A search on āvoiceā will never show Appleās own Voice Memos app on my iPhone, and the problem has persisted across multiple iOS versions and even multiple iPhones. I have no idea how to fix it, apart from setting up the iPhone from scratch sometime. Luckily, itās the only thing that Iāve ever wanted to search for that hasnāt been found properly.
Did not know that.
I wonder if Spotlight would need rebuilding if you change the iPhone language to a different one, and then change it back to English.
Thanks, Chick and Adam.
I did a search on rebuilding the index and found hints that changing the language settings might work and a reset might work. I toggled my settings from English (US) to French and did a soft reset (Volume up, Volume Down, Hold the side button), I then changed back and did another soft reset. However, there was no change.
Since I may be getting a phone in a month or two, I resist doing a hard reset now as that would involve recreating my Credit Card Wallet and Apple Pay setup. Iāll keep my ear to the ground for other suggestions in the meantime.
Indeed! I just discovered this trickāswiping on the Home screen dotsāthe other day too.
FYI, beware moving widgets onto Home screens with folders.

I am with you. I still have High Sierra on my Macs and 11.4 on my 6 SE, and my older Apple products have the Steve Jobs approved operating systems, (you know: When your device did the simple work for you, like magic.)
I wish at least one of the new devices and their operating system would be finished before they put it on sale. But, there seems to be a market for unfinished stuff that needs upgrades and debugging every month until the newest incomplete thing is released.

Updating the Apple Watch has become an exercise in futility for people like me who donāt have access to lightening-fast internet. The length of time to complete even the smallest watchOS update is ridiculous. There has to be a way to make this go faster and not take hours. I certainly wonāt be updating to watchOS 7 no matter how many useful features they have packed into it. Apple, instead of concentrating only on new stuff to pack into the Watch, how about coming up with a new way to sync these updates that doesnāt take forever? What I would love is being able to connect it to my Mac instead of my iPhone and downloading an update that way, directly, the way we used to do with iPhone in iTunes.
I also installed iOS 14 upon release, hoping it would solve the new microphone issue with my iPhone 7. That problem was not resolved, and now, most apps on my iPhone 7 freeze at some point during use. A simple shutdown to restart (iPhone restarts on itās own at this point) does not unfreeze those apps. Needing to do a hard reset (holding volume down/sleep button) several times a day to manageā¦
Has anyone else noticed that iOS 14 doesnāt recognize screen taps sometimes? Occasionally, I have to tap twice to open a folder. It may be related to widgets; if you have just used one, you are more likely to see a tap not work as it should. But the behavior is not consistent and predictable.

Lightning fast internet doesnāt do much good with the Apple Watch because it only connects to 2.4 GHz networks. Updating to watchOS 7 took me a very long time, much longer than usual, it seemed.
I have 100 Mbps Internet and itās currently taking two hours to download watchOS 7 on another Apple Watch Iām setting up. And then after that it has to transfer the update from the iPhone to the Apple Watch over Bluetooth, which is a slow and error-prone process. Itās not just your Internet, this is a genuinely terrible update process.

Now this hardly-beta version of Mail on iPadOS 14 isnāt even counting down the number of unread messages correctly, much less still not keeping them in order under āAll Inboxesā. 
You may well have checked this already but in case not, check here:
Settings ā Siri & Search ā Voice Memos
to ensure that āShow App in Searchā is enabled. Hopefully that will correct it.

You are my official favorite person of the day! That was exactly it, and I have absolutely no idea how those options got turned off, but it probably happened years ago. That explains why the problem persisted across versions of iOS and new iPhones too. While I vaguely knew about these settings, Iāve never seen much utility to messing with them, so I never even considered that this problem could be self-inflicted.
Strike what I said/implied about Spotlight search in iOS becoming corrupted. I have no evidence of that happening now.
