The App Store on my iPhone has disappeared

From what I’ve noticed, you have to keep the restrictions off. If you turn them back on, even if installing is allowed, App Store would still be gone. It looks like some bug but I guess you can download whatever you want while it is off and it can be turned back on once you’re done installing apps

Try restarting your phone after the restrictions have been turned off and also go to Setting > Screen Time > Share Across Devices, and shut that off. Turn your Content & Privacy Restrictions back on and see if that resolves the problem.

Make sure you have updated to iOS 17.6.1 on all capable devices.

ANSWER:

I had the exact same issue with my daughters phone... the cause? I found that when I access my daughters screentime settings from MY device that they were different than that of hers, So I added the content & privacy settings from MY device instead of directly on her phone... now the app store is back with the correct restrictions

ISSUE: setting incompatibility between adult's settings on adult's device for that family member and the settings on family member's / child's device

@apple -> you might want to look at a patch that updates settings correctly between devices

Please read the thread you replied to, it has been answered already multiple times.

The App Store cannot be removed. It can either be restricted in Screen Settings, moved to another home screen, into a folder or in the App Library.

The App Store on my iPhone has disappeared

My App Store is GONE. I’ve tried messing around with parental controls, screen time, and looking in the App Library, but the app simply disappeared. For a separate reason, I have transferred devices and noticed that the App Store is even gone on my new phone. I really need help.

Try shutting off Content & Privacy Restrictions completely at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions.

In addition turn off Share Across Devices at Settings > Screen Time > Share Across Devices.

Mine is not working too I read everyone’s comment here and tried every **** thing still yet it’s gone forever please I need help and some recommendations

Instead of saying you have tried everything, you will need to tell up exactly what you have tried.

Hi all, just want to share my solution for this problem. I tried to find the solution from all places, and try everything including resetting apps and allowing screen time.

apparently, i have an app that hiding some apps : Cape. I never hide the app store

if u have similar app, u can go to settings> screen time> apps with screen time access>cape, then switch off first. This will unhide the App Store..

hope this can solve the problems

Didn't work but even if it did, it would defeat the purpose of having parental controls if I have to switch them off...This sucks

How did you get it back?! I’ve tried the Reset All Settings and it’s still GONE. My mom even disabled and reenabled it and it’s still GONE

My AppStore is gone even my email on my settings is turned off and my mom won’t fix it

Same for me

if I accidentally remove App Store, how to download it again, please help me

Disapprove why
