Fix · It says “Unlock to change this.”
Unlock first
You can't change the list while locked, or unlocking without the device would be easy. Tap the device, then edit.
Fix · Which apps should I pick?
Start with two or three
The ones you open without thinking. Add more later. Keep calls, maps, banking and UPI unlocked.
Fix · I can't find an app in the list
Search for it
Tap Search apps and type its name. Every installed app is under Everything else. Open the category it belongs to, or use the search bar in Apple's list.
