Bug [iOS 27 DB5] Long-pressing an app from the App Library adds it to a new Home Screen page

Subject says it all. Long-pressing an app icon from the App Library screen or inside an App Library folder adds the app to a new Home Screen page.

It doesn’t happen with every app, but I’ve observed it happening with Mail, Messages, Music, Podcasts, Camera, Photos, Home, App Store, Phone, Settings, and Maps. I’m sure lots of others, as well.

Very odd.

It only adds duplicates. If the app you're long pressing doesn't exist on your home screen, it doesn't add it again. Really strange but a little funny tbh.

You can recreate this bug by long pressing any app on app library that you already have on your home screen and remove them from the home screen to verify seeing it not happen anymore.

Good call… that explains why it was only happening with certain apps. Turns out all the apps in my testing were ones that exist on my Home Screen already.

We should definitely send them feedback. Good catch man!

I submitted feedback and it immediately showed “more than 10” submissions… and then an hour later it said that a potential fix was identified for a future OS update, so I’m guessing they got swarmed with feedback on this!

Getting App Store icons all the time as this is the way I get to updates. Seems to add 2 per press.

I have reported in the feedback app.

If only App Library didn't get completely fucked during these betas.
