Missing apps in share sheet ios 14

I was missing the Facebook app on my share sheet plus a few other apps but like with anything tech related I tried the simplest suggestion I usually get with any tech issues regarding software “have you tried shutting down and restarting your computer?”and so I did and walah there was the Facebook and whatsapp apps again there on the safari sharesheet again 🙏🏽👍🏽

I realised that I hadn’t restarted my iPad in weeks. I closed all apps, restarted and the share sheet links all reappeared. Problem solved. Maybe the moral of the story is to restart your iPad fairly frequently.

I experienced the same issue and struggled with it for some time with no luck. A restart of my iPhone surprisingly enough resolved the issue. All apps are back in the share list. Br/BO1961

I closed all apps and shut down the phone. I restarted, and now my apps are there.

I had this problem after upgrading to iOS 14.3, as first WhatsApp and then Signal disappeared from my share sheet. Your suggestion to change the language solved the problem for me too. I changed from English (India) to English (UK) and lo, all the missing apps came back. I changed back to English (India) and (so far) all seems well.

Thanks, TJakub

Same issue here on iOS 14.6 iPhone 12 Pro Max. When sharing a photo I only see suggestions from SMS and Telegram. Apps like Slack, WhatsApp etc are neither suggested nor visible in “More…”. iPhone restart helps.

Just like "nicerobot" I closed all my apps (missing apps still NOT on share sheet) and then I restarted my iPhone - and voila, that solved it for me :-)

Restart your phone!

Closing all apps and rebooting fixed it for me, thank you!!!

Just noticed the same thing on 14.5 (upgraded from 13.7 in the past week) - power cycled my phone and the missing app (Twitter) came back 👍

I closed all apps and rebooted my iPad (where I was having the issue) and this worked! 🙂

I closed *all* apps and restarted my iPhone and this fixed the problem.

Rebooted my iPhone 12 Pro Max and the share sheet apps reappeared.

Same issue. Seems to happen when an app is updated then it disappears from share sheet. To fix the symptom, I power off and restart my phone. But the underlying problem isn’t fixed by that because next time the same app is updated it disappears from share sheet again. Perhaps the APIs for share sheet registration aren’t being called when apps are updated or the system code called by the APIs is buggy.

Closing all my apps and rebooting seemed to work. Although when I first updated to the latest iOS my Twitter disappeared from share sheet and I was able to get it back in share to just by rebooting.

But I still see this as a glitch in iOS that should be corrected. Just because there is a workaround that usually works doesn’t mean this is acceptable.

When I first updated to iOS 14 I did in the beta and all my apps got scattered all over my screen and I lost all my organized folders. To this day I don’t know if it was a glitch in the Beta or if it would have still happened if I had waited for iOS 14 to become available to everyone.

But my point is glitches like these can be beyond just annoying. It makes me very hesitant to stay updated without waiting a month between updates for them to work out the kinks.

When I go to YouTube videos on the latest updates these glitches are never mentioned. Yet here we are.

is there a a group to warn people about these glitches or do I need to start one?
