Find Friends app missing

Hello rdww,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that you're unable to locate the Find Friends app on your iPhone, however you can open it from the App Store. You've come to the right place for help.

Let's start by seeing if the app appears when you type 'Find Friends' in Search on your iPhone:

Use iPhone to search for content - Apple Support

If the Find Friends app appears under the Applications section in the search results, you'll see the name of the folder to the right of the app if it's located in a folder. If you're not able to locate where the app is at using Search, consider trying to Reset Home Screen Layout next:

Return iPhone settings to their defaults - Apple Support

"Reset Home Screen Layout: Returns the built-in apps to their original layout on the Home screen"

You'll find that option under Settings > General > Reset. Let us know what happens after trying those steps.

Cheers!

Hi rdww,

Thanks for sending over those screenshots. I would like to have you take a look at your Screen Time settings next, to see if there may be any restrictions preventing the app from appearing:

Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

Specifically, go to Settings > Screen Time > Always Allowed. Ensure that Find Friends has been added to the Allowed Apps list. It's also a good idea to ensure that your iPhone has been updated to the latest iOS:

If you're still not able to locate the app icon, I suggest reaching out to Apple Support next:

Take care.
