Q: My 'App Store' app on my iPhone disappeared

November 21, 2012

 

I had an 'APP STORE' app on my iPhone 3 yesterday morning and it just disappeared. I had 5 updates I needed to do and haven't had time to do them or no longer needed them.

 

Has anyone else had their APP STORE app disappear off their iPhones?  Any and all suggestions are welcomed.

 

Thank you and hope all have a safe and Happy Thanksgiving.

 

I'll take any help...

iPhone 3GS (8GB), iOS 5.1.1, iOS 6 Not Downloaded to iPhone

    Luckily, you can't delete the App Store app.

     

    Try searching for it with Spotlight, if it shows up you can look throgh the home screens or folders and try to find it or you can Reset the Home Screen Layout from Settings > General > Reset.

     

    If it doesn't show up, Make sure Installing Apps isn't disabled in Restrictions uner Settings > Restrictions.
