Bottoms row of icons keep rearranging themselves after iOS 13.1.2

Updated for the first time last night to 13.1.2. Now, the bottom 4 icons (dock?) keep rearranging themselves in reverse order. I put them back to how I have always had them, then not long after they’ve reversed order again. Thought it was a fluke the first time. But now it’s multiple times.

It was only the 4 apps in the dock. I had originally done a hard reset, and the rearranging still happened. No other apps were affected. After at least two more hard resets, the issue resolved itself.

Hey Jrsodajerk,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities! I understand that the app in your iPhone dock are not staying when you re-arrange them. I definitely want to make sure you're able to organize your apps as expected, and I'm happy to help.


If you haven't already done so, I recommend restarting your iPhone. You can use the steps for restarting here: Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


Let's also make sure there are no pending app updates. Updating apps in iOS 13 has changed a bit. You can see how to update here: Update apps or use automatic downloads


If those steps don't help, I would like to get a bit more information on what's happening. That way we can get you pointed toward a resolution.


Are you seeing this happen with all apps reverting, or just those in the dock?


Does this happen after any specific event, like a restart, or use of an App?


If you choose different apps for the dock, does the same behavior happen?


Thanks again, and have a great day!
