Disappearance of folder created on my iPhone 13 Pro Max desktop to contain travel related apps

Would anyone kindly be able to throw any light on this…one moment I’m using apps from this folder, then, next time I go to use an app, the folder has disappeared…( I can still access apps from the App Store, & they still appear in the folders that Apple has automatically created, however, my layout of folders is convenient for me & that is the way that I wish to access my apps, so current situation is puzzling & most inconvenient)…

iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 15

Hi russichwhite,

Welcome to the Apple Community.


Re: the folder has disappeared


You might want to:


✽. try restarting / turning the iPhone off and back on. See if the folder re-appeared.


Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone - Apple Support

Eg: Try searching the App Library for the missing folder


✽. check the Recently Deleted / Trash folder ... (ie: could the folder have been accidentally deleted ?)


✽. Search for the folder on iPhone:

Eg: View and modify files and folders in Files on iPhone – Apple Support

says:

Find a specific file or folder

Enter a filename, folder name, or document type in the search field.

When you search, you have these options:

      • Focus the scope of your search: Below the search field, tap Recents or the name of the location or tag.
      • Hide the keyboard and see more results on the screen: Tap Search.
      • Start a new search: Tap  in the search field.
      • Open a result: Tap it.

If you still haven't found the folder:


Apple support have other articles online that may help troubleshoot, or re-create the folder of apps.


Organize your apps in folders on iPhone – Apple Support


Move apps and widgets on the Home Screen on iPhone – Apple Support


All the best :-)
