Apple has made a big change to the home screen of its iOS and iPadOS App Store, now 3 main tabs will be displayed on Apps, Games and Arcade
If Apple focused on offering better customization in iOS 18 for its users, its work did not stop there since has updated the App Store with important changes. The way to search, discover and find apps is improved making it easier and then we will show you what it looks like.
The three tabs that add this change to discover apps in the App Store
Now when you enter the App Store you will notice that the usual tabs exist of Games, Apps and Arcade. More than tabs, they now include category buttons inside that have been relocated from the bottom and that include featured apps that you could discover. They are positioned at the top within Apps and Gamesin Arcade are just below the carousel of featured titles.
According to what he could see 9to5Mac, The first category options, both in Apps and Games, could vary from one device to another. This would depend one hundred percent on your usage habits. Comparing devices from different people are results that change incredibly. That means that if you are looking for an app that you have never used beforeFor example, if you don’t use your iPhone as an entertainment center, This tab will not be shown to you at the beginning.
Now it will be easier to find alternatives to an app
When you consider replacing a commonly used app with another, it will be easier to do so in the App Store. You will not have to go through the list of categories but instead You will have direct access on the main page from the App Store. Apple has never revealed how the organization of its categories works, although it is likely that it can be guided depending on the apps and games that we have searched for and/or downloaded. The full switching experience can be viewed immediately on iPad and that is thanks to its screen. When you put it in horizontal mode you will be able to see a broader list of categories.
Unfortunately This experience is only limited, for now, to devices with iOS and iPadOS. Taking a look at the Mac App Store, it remains the same, maintaining the sidebar to search for apps or games by different types of activities and at the end by categories. Those from Cupertino have been right with this change since It will facilitate navigation in terms of discovering new apps. Best of all, each user will have a different look at their startup, so you could ask friends and family who are constantly checking their apps What buttons does it include at the beginning?. After a while, we will see if this new way is better than before. At least This way we can stop searching for apps by name and get fully into what the App Store has to offer.
