Does this happen with all the apps?


If yes, check if you are deleting or removing them.

  • Remove App: This option only takes the app icon away from your Home Screen. The app itself remains on your device, but it's hidden. You can find it again in the App Library (a collection of all your apps on iPhone).
  • Delete App: This option completely removes the app and its data from your iPhone. It frees up storage space and gets rid of the app entirely.
