iOS13 Bug: App logos are turning into folders

Hey there abbas299,

Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. I understand some of the apps on your iPhone are showing as folders after an update. I’ll be happy to help with this. First, I'd suggest verifying that you're using the most recently released iOS version because iOS 13.1 and later include a fix for the behavior you're seeing: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

If you're up-to-date or the issue persists after updating, try deleting one of the apps in question, restart your iPhone, and install the app again:

• Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Let us know if that helps.

Best wishes.

Folders don't create themselves. Someone has to create them. So either you or someone who uses your phone created those folders. It's possible (but unlikely) that if your phone has a corporate email account on it and that the administrator dictated the screen layout. This might happen if the company has a standard profile that goes on all phones used by staff. There is nothing for Apple to fix; whoever created the folders has to fix it.

Which apps are showing as folders?
