Disappearing app

I downloaded an app then dragged it into the correct folder but it has disappeared. I cannot download it again but it is obviously there somewhere. I have checked all other folders it is not there. Cannot delete it and start again as I cannot find it.


iPad, iPadOS 13

Thats ok, sometimes it goes onto a second page, even if you have space, I have never figured out why, but it just does.


I am glad you found it, the app had to be somewhere, as it would be impossible for the app to be opened through search/siri and it not be on there somewhere.


Glad its sorted and glad I could help

Exactly what I thought too. Looked at home screen one more time and noticed two dots at bottom of the relevant folder. Having clicked on them now realise that it denotes there is another page to this folder and the app was on the second page! No logical reason why it should have created a second page as there was room to display in original folder but it is now in the correct place. The added advantage is that I now know that the ipad may create a second page even when not necessary so I will know where to look! Thank you for your help.
