Arrangements of the apps position have changed

Hi,

I have more than 150 apps on my iPhone. I have arranged them based on types, so I created several folders and put them in different screens pages.

Today, I turned off the (screen time) option in the settings.

However, all of my apps arrangements has changed, now there is no folder and all apps randomly arranged.


how i can restore the previous location of the apps and arrangements?


thank you


iPhone 7, iOS 14

Hi barznjy,


It sounds like you have some questions about organizing your Home Screen. We can get you pointed in the right direction for support.


Do you recall if your iPhone was backed up before you made the change to Screen Time? If so, you may be able to restore from the backup to see if that brings back your previous setup. If you choose to do this, any data that was saved to your iPhone after the backup was created would be permanently removed. You can find more information about restoring from a backup here: Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch from a backup


If there is no backup available or if you'd prefer to not restore from a backup, you can find more information about organizing your Home Screen here: Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


Cheers!

Thanks for the response.

I have a backup, but it is (7-April)!! So, I probably lose something during that period.


I should manually rearrange the apps again..


How can we tell Apple to fix this bug?

Why should arrangements of the apps change when I use (screen time) and making selecting (Don't allow apps) option, and then selecting (Allow all Apps) again? This procedure change the whole arrangements of the apps.
