You need a dedicated app to customize your home screen in style! This is the definitive version of the dress-up app that has all the dress-up materials!
Have you ever been puzzled because app icons suddenly disappeared from your iPhone's home screen?
Don't worry! It's easy to bring back the icons on the home screen. Let's discuss some possible reasons for this and how to address each scenario.
Identifying why the app icons disappeared from the home screen can quickly solve the problem.
1. On the home screen, swipe down.
2. Search the name of the app you want to find in the search box.
3. Depending on the search results, the approach to resolving the issue may vary.
→ The cause might be that it moved to the 'App Library'!
If you can launch the app but its icon is missing from the home screen, it might have been moved to the 'App Library'. Let's re-add the icon from there!
To move an app back to the home screen from the App Library, follow these steps:
1. Swipe left on the home screen until you reach the App Library.
2. Search for the app you want to add to.
3. Once found, Long-press the app icon, then drag it to the home screen and release.
Done! The app is now back on the home screen!
If multiple apps have disappeared and you want to restore them all, try resetting the home screen layout.
1. Open 'Settings' >'General'.
2. Tap 'Transfer or Reset iPhone'.
3. Tap 'Reset'.
4. Tap 'Reset Home Screen Layout'.
5. When you return to the home screen, all downloaded app icons will be displayed in alphabetical order!
Note: If you had apps organized into folders or had customized your home screen, these will also be reset. Therefore, choose the method that best suits your situation!
If the folder name appears next to the app name in Spotlight search, the app is stored in that folder. Make sure to thoroughly search for that folder!
If you still can't find it, it is recommended to try Solutions 1 and 2 mentioned earlier.
There's a possibility that the app was actually deleted. If that's the case, go to the App Store and download the app again.
(You can also download directly from Spotlight search)
iPhones have a feature that can restrict the use of specific apps. If this feature is enabled, the app will be hidden from the home screen.
To disable restrictions, follow these steps:
1. Open the 'Settings' app and tap 'Screen Time'.
2. Tap 'App Limits'.
3. Turn off 'App Limits'.
4. Done!
Disabling this feature will make the app appear on the home screen again.
We've explained the reasons why apps might disappear from the iPhone home screen and the solutions for each. Make sure to check if the app hasn't been moved to the App Library, a folder, or the last page of the home screen.
