If you see a profile in Settings –> General –> Device Management, it's possible an app's icon was changed outside of the app's permission. There are also services and Mac apps that will let you change an app's icon to something else. Some apps will let you change their app icons. Step 5: Make Sure You Didn't Change the App Icon However, if you see 'Open' instead of 'View' under the App Store heading, that most likely means you are restricted from accessing the app (see Step 2 below). If you see 'Get' instead of the cloud button, then you've never installed the app before on any of your devices. If so, tap on 'View,' then the cloud button to quickly redownload it. If the app is not currently installed on your iPhone, it may show up under the App Store heading instead. If it's still on your iPhone, it should show up near the top under Applications. Next, type in the app's name in the Search box. From your home screen, swipe down on the page somewhere below the status bar and above the dock. One way to see if the app is still on your iPhone is to use the Search feature.

Step 1: Make Sure It's Still on Your iPhone These methods involve making sure the app is still on your iPhone (which usually means it's just hidden somewhere on the home screen somewhere), making sure you're not blocked from using any apps, and finding ones that are hidden. The fact that some of your apps disappeared only makes it more frustrating because there's no logical reason why they should have, right?įortunately, we have a few things you can try out in order to dig for all your missing apps. Sure, you can nestle them away in folders labeled 'junk,' but they're supposed to be omni-present somewhere on your home screen.
