so recently my app icons have been showing up as white little boxes, kinda like when you create a new focus and you’re gonna select the apps you want notifications from, and if there is a deleted app it’ll show as those white boxes, but the thing is when you click onto the folder the icons show
I don’t know if it’s just me who has this problem, or if anyone else HAD this problem and figured out how to fix. If you do have the same issue/had the same issue please help out! 😭
Apple is notorious for these poor quality control factors these days.
You can quickly refresh your screen’s icons by holding down an app to enter the edit mode(edit Home Screen).
Press the edit button in the top left corner and then press customize. Change/ Toggle your icons from small and large. This will force refresh the icons.
Whoever wrote the code is missing some key refresh options and it shows. It would be nice if instead of Siri suggestions, we could have a quick system refresh since the devs are not taking the time to write code to detect such scenarios. Too much to ask for I guess.

Try and Force Restart your iPhone EXACTLY as shown below and see whether that resolves the issue:

I did force restart and that didn’t help. After that I moved icons out of the folder and put them back. Weirdly, that helped
The white app icon grid boxes are usually a corrupted icon cache.
One of the more common paths that include that icon and that corruption is running out of free device storage.
That cache might rebuild, and it might be resolved with a forced restart (see the reply by Axel Foley), but the most reliable way to recover from that corruption is to perform a backup and restore.
Restore your iPhone, iPad, or iPod to factory settings using a computer - Apple Support (with links to backup, restore)
my simple fix was changing to a different theme, force hard resetting your phone and the switching back to your desired theme, this fixes the issue
That same thing happened to me it will go away I promise it happened so be patient and it will stop hope that helps :)
Plus it will show right back up when you get in the folder
You are welcome. Glad that you have been able to resolve the issue.

The same for me. Changing the size of them a few times or dark/light theme.
Dark/light did not work. Switching to zoomed with its mandatory rapid restart, and back to standard ( another quick restart ) got it sorted.
Thank you so muchhh! This definitely resolved the issue!<3
+1 rep this works
This worked for me !
This works for the moment. The issue returns nearly every automatic dark/light switch.
Strangely enough, this occurs almost exclusively on my second home screen.
