Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Ok I tried the settings/home screen select home screen and rebooted and icons still not there, plus how long is “recently added” for? I see in the App Library apps I’ve added MONTHS ago still in the “Recently added” group but nothing to make it show normally on Home Screen.
any other ideas? Have two new iPhone 13’s.
iPhone 13, iOS 15
Good afternoon Tomax777,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
It sounds like you are missing icons for apps on your iPhone 13, and we'd like to help.
How many app icons are missing on your Home screen?
Are the same apps missing on both of your new iPhones?
Working with one iPhone at a time:
The resources below will provide some guidance:
Back up iPhone - iPhone User Guide
Update your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch
Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone
Delete apps on your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch
Redownload apps and games from Apple
Take care.

Hi Tomax777,
We can't explain why the app icons got rearranged, but glad to hear the apps were on your iPhone and did not have to be redownloaded. The App Library is a new feature that was added to help organize all of your apps, so you should be able to find any installed app there. Then you can move and organize apps how you wish on the Home and subsequent screens. The most recent app you purchase or download will appear on the next available screen if your Home screen is full.
Enjoy your day!
Maybe have it auto add to Home Screen as well because having to manually add the icons after enabling the the option in Settings defeats the purpose
Thank you - yes I was able to drag the icons to the Home Screen, but my question is WHY?
Before the update it was fine before, or like the old saying “if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it”…
Missing icons - not recently added but old
