App listed under ‘cellular data’ but not installed on phone

You’d think apple could have at least called it friggin wallpaper then - rather than have millions of people panic and have to resort to self help. Thanks.

Hello User8991, 

If you haven’t already, we encourage you to use the App Library to help locate an app that may not appear on your Home Screen. Find your apps in App Library on iPhone

Find and open an app in App Library

1. Go to the Home Screen, then swipe left past all your Home Screen pages to get to App Library.

2. Tap the search field at the top of the screen, then enter the name of the app you’re looking for. Or scroll up and down to browse the alphabetical list.

3. To open an app, tap it.

If a category has a few small app icons, you can tap them to expand the category and see all the apps in it.

We're recommending the steps above because they directly address the issue you initially posted about: you cannot locate an app on your iPhone titled Astronomy so that you can delete it.

Please let us know the outcome after giving the above steps a try.

Thanks. 

I have this same issue on my iPhone. I contacted Apple and was told not to worry about it because it was just a GPS. I was told nothing about wallpaper, or it having anything to do with the wallpaper. I was alarmed because I couldn’t find the app myself and it was clearly using my data. Apps that I didn’t download was a big “red” flag I was told to look for. Apple told me not to worry and not to believe what you watch and hear on you tube. 🤔 Who really knows these days.

Search here? I haven’t found anything here about Astronomy app.

It’s not an app. It’s dynamic wallpaper. It’s part of iOS 16. There’s nothing nefarious about it.

Same issue.. this is very frustrating!

Search these forums for Astronomy.

There are very many results when searching for ‘Astronomy’.

No, it won't be a problem.
