Why Are App Updates Missing in iOS 17.5.1?

My problem with latest ios update is that the app store/account page no longer shows the apps available to be updated. I had quite a few and now I can’t remember them all. I did update a couple that I did remember by searching in the app store and then each separately. When I called apple they said this was as expected in the new release, but that sounds crazy to me. Anyone else seeing this issue?

The answer was posted and verified to work by several of us that had the same issue, try this: kexv said: I did my own research and found that turning off the app updates and turning it on at settings (search App Store in the search bar at settings), it suddenly came back.

I cannot even access the app store since the 17.5.1 update. I had it turned off through the content and privace restrictions to keep my son off of it. when he doesnt have my phone I turn it back on so I can download and update apps, but it wont even appear onn the home screen any longer when I turn it on through the privace restrictions. Obviously this 17.5.1 update is exceedingly buggy. It has created more issues than it fixed.

I’ve expierenced the same issue! After updating to 17.5.1 the App Store has dissapered. When I allow App Store to be seen for my son, it shows a few seconds in the screen than fanishes of screen. also it doesn’t show in libarary. When I try to open it, in that splitsecond, app is crashed and closed. We need a fix asap, Some apps stop working because we cannot update them.

Latest release of iOS 17.5.1 did not grow through proper regression testing.


The App Store is completely missing from my iPhone 13.

- Attempts to find in the App Library: failed. It doesn’t exist there.

-Go to settings > screen time > content, and privacy restrictions, set = ALLOW (for all 3 options)

-Turn phone off after each change wait, turn back on, still no App Store in search, or in the app library.


@support - what is your work around, and, what is your anticipated fix date?
