Upgraded iPhone X. Pull-down search shows “Siri Suggestions” but if I type in the name of an app, it takes me to Safari search, Maps & Website. Won’t show my apps.
No Spotlight or Universal Search settings.
Anyone have a suggestion to enable this?
iPhone X
Not working for me either I believe it’s a bug in iOS 14 when you have more than a certain number of apps. I have 2000+ apps and my friend has less than a hundred and his works fine. Please fix this issue Apple. It worked fine in iOS13
Interesting that you have 2000+ apps. I thought I was the only one! 🙂 I wonder if that has anything to do with the issue.
I have the same problem on iPad and iPhone, including having erased my phone again and restoring. I had the same experience on the betas on my iPad and reported it as a bug. So I thought it was the expected behavior when I saw it on my devices in the released product. But in posting my question elsewhere in the Community, a person helping me shared a screen capture showing his Search working correctly. I don’t know how many apps he has, but you raised a good point.
I’ve been using the App Store option at the end of the Search list, and when it takes me to the app that I needed, it has the little download cloud next to it, even though the app is already on my phone from before, and I’ve already used it since upgrading. Or I will swipe through the “dots” to get to my last desktop more quickly for only 1 more swipe to get to the App Library Search.
I reported this issue in the feedback app. I hope enough others will report, for Apple to investigate a fix.
Good to know. I definitely don’t use even most of the thousands of apps I have, but maybe I’ll try to offload to get to 700 if this isn’t fixed in the next update. I don’t look forward to spending that kind of time to see what I want to keep “just in case”
Thanks for sharing what number worked for you.
Thanks, Giulio. I had already been to that page and done all of those suggestions.
My problem is, unlike the illustration on the page, there's no top line that shows apps.
See photo below:
I have the same problem. iPhone XS Max ios 14.
In iOS 14 Spotlight Search isn't working for me: no apps, contacts, mail and music (iPhone XS Max)
My iPad is working fine.
i had over 900 apps installed and spotlight didn't work now i'm less than 700 and spotlight works perfectly
So that's the magic number?
At the moment 696 :-)
I am amazed that Apple doesn’t load up one phone with tons of apps and use it to test. There are always issues for power users and it amazes me as we are some of the most loyal Apple supporters.
Well ... I’m probably more of an app hoarder than a power user 😂 📱
👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Woo hoo! The iOS 14.0.1 update corrected the issue on my iPhone. I haven’t updated my iPad yet, but I would expect the same result. I hope the others in this thread will see the same correction!
