Can you tell us, step by step, how you're trying to do it? What happens when you try?


If you go to the App Library, tap on the search bar, locate the app you want to put on the Home Screen then press and hold on the icon, not the name, you should get a pop-up menu that includes the option "Add to Home Screen". Are you not seeing that?

Yes, you can. You can choose where apps get downloaded to by going to Settings>Home Screen & App LIbrary>Newly Downloaded Apps. Once the app is downloaded you can move it around on the Home pages just as you've always been able to.

Apps are automatically placed on the Home Screen. You can use the App Library to organize and search for your apps.

Only if that's what you've chosen. I have mine set to only download to the App Library. You can't move apps around in the App Library.
