There's an unknown app on my iPhone 14 Plus

I have this app on in my App Library as it shows in the photo, but when I click on it it becomes face book. Am I just paranoid. I can’t find the app any place else. Also when I dragged it to my Home Screen it become fb and stays that way, but it still shows the same in the library under social

That app icon you see there is just a default icon when the data for it is missing or corrupted. This can happen when storage is low on your device or the data was corrupted when syncing to your device. There is nothing suspicious about the file.


If you are running low on storage space, you will want to delete some items. After that you can try these 2 things:

  • Force Restart. This will take a couple of attempts to get the speed and sequence of the key presses correct and the last step of holding the side button until the Apple logo appears could take up to 20 seconds. Ignore anything else you see on the screen until the Apple Logo appears. Force restart iPhone - Apple Support
  • Delete the app and redownload Facebook again from the App Store.
