Apps can go missing on your iPhone for many reasons, but one of the most common causes only happens on iPhones running iOS 14 and later. That's due to the new App Library , which houses every one of the apps on your iPhone. It acts as an app directory, grouping apps into sorted folders, and provides a way to view all apps in alphabetical order.
All of your installed apps can live on both the App Library and Home Screen, but it's possible for there to be a discrepancy between the two.
That's all fine and well if you know about the App Library, but it creates a confusing system of missing apps for those of us who are unaware, and not everybody wants to swipe to the end of their Home Screen pages to get to it.
That's because you may have inadvertently set new apps to go to the App Library only or removed an app manually. If you've ever hidden a Home Screen page available since iOS 14 , the app you're looking for might be on one of those hidden pages.
To see, open the Home Screen editor, tap the page dots, check any unchecked pages, and hit "Done. Hiding a Home Screen page has consequences you might have missed. When you first hide a page or any number of pages, it will automatically set new app downloads to appear only in the App Library, not on the Home Screen. So if you don't remember setting new app downloads to work that way, you may have accidentally triggered it after hiding a Home Screen page.
If you did it quickly, you might have hit the remove option instead of delete, thinking it would delete it. User profile for user: paigexbriggs paigexbriggs.
