Hi ruquia97,


Since your apps are invisible on your iPad, we recommend that you try restarting your device.

How to restart an iPad without a Home button

1. Press and hold either volume button and the top button until the power off slider appears.
2. Drag the slider, then wait 30 seconds for your device to turn off. If your device is frozen or unresponsive, force restart your device.

3. To turn your device back on, press and hold the top button until you see the Apple logo.

We recommend the steps above because while a restart can seem unimportant, it can actually resolve many minor issues with the device.


If you’re still experiencing the same issue, consider trying the steps here: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support
