Apps disappearing after iOS 15.1 update on iPhone XS Max

Since updating my iPhone XS Max to iOS 15.1, the apps on my iPhone keep disappearing. Then a few hours later or the next day, I can find all my apps on their normal pages. I've restarted my phone several times but it keeps happening. I don't find anything on the internet about how to fix this. Anyone else have this issue?

iPhone XS Max, iOS 15

Greetings, lnpangel9785.


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities. We can understand why you’d want to resolve the issue with your apps disappearing. 


To start, make sure your iOS is up-to-date: Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch  Then, Restart your iPhone.


Download your apps and test to see if they remain on your device: Download apps and games on your iPhone or iPad


If the issue continues, check to see if you have any Restrictions enabled: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch 


We hope this helps! Thanks for being a part of the community.


Sincerely.
