All of my apps have been deleted off my phone. When I go to redownload them I do not get the cloud option, it just gives me an “open” button to open the app. But they are nowhere to be found on my main screen. How can I get them back?

My husband deleted all my apps off my phone. When I try to redownload them from the app store, I do not get the regular cloud icon to redownload them. I just get an “open” button which opens the app. Great, I can open my apps if I search for them in the app store- not what I want. I want to see the icons on my screen. How do I fix this? Thanks

Your apps were not deleted. Scroll all the way to the right to the App Library. All of your apps are there.


Long press in an open space

Wait for the wiggle

Drag apps wherever you would like them
