App Store is absolutely gone.

So no matter what I do, the App Store is gone. I have tried looking into the settings, the restrictions, resetting the phone, searching for it, resetting the Home Screen layout, doing a factory reset, nothing.

none of it worked.

i do have a managed phone, but I don’t think that is why it’s happening.

i can’t update anything, when I ask Siri to open the App Store he says that I don’t have an app called App Store, and when he asks if I want to look in the App Store for it and o click the link, an error shows up.


iPhone 13 mini, iOS 17

If it is managed, then there's no reason to think it has not been restricted by the MDM. That would be the only logical conclusion if its not being restricted by Screen Time in Settings ➜ Screen Time ➜ Content & Privacy Restrictions ➜ iTunes & App Store purchases ➜ Installing Apps.


I would contact the IT department that is Managing the device.
