Good article! I’m having trouble finding the camera app in my app library. Is there a specific place I should look?
I had the same issue. It was in a folder labeled 'Utilities' for me. Maybe check there.
Thanks for the feedback! The app may be in a folder or can be searched using the search bar in the app library.
I followed the steps, but I couldn't get the camera icon to stay put. It kept snapping back to the app library. Eventually, I realized I was pressing the home button too fast. Make sure you wait for the icons to stop jiggling before pressing it again. After that, it worked great!
Does anyone know if you can customize the camera icon even if it’s already on the home screen?
Yes, you can customize it by tapping and holding the icon until it jiggles, then using a third-party app to change its appearance.
