How to search for apps with Spotlight in iOS 7

If you’ve recently updated to iOS 7, you may be wondering why you can no longer swipe to the right off your Home screen in order to search for apps like you could under iOS 6 and below.

  • Spotlight search will now appear and you can search for apps, texts, or any other content you’d like just as you did on previous versions of iOS.
