My App Store icon disappeared. I don't seem to be ale to get it back. Does anyone please know how to? 🙂
iPhone 4, Firmware 4.10.1
On your iPhone, go to Settings > General > Restrictions.
Is Restrictions turned on?
If so, is Installing Apps enabled as a Restriction?
If yes, turn Installing Apps back on.
Allan, Checked. Restrictions was turned off. Turned it on; but still can't find my App Store icon! 😟
None of the apps included with iOS can be deleted, which includes the App Store.
If Restrictions was not on, there is no point in turning it on. What I meant by turning Installing Apps back on as a Restriction should have been off as a Restriction only is Restrictions was already on.
If you have checked in every folder on every home page and every home page and Restrictions is not enabled, you can reset the home screen layout at Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. This will reset your home screen layout for all apps placing the apps included with iOS in their default locations.
If Allans sugestions didn't work you could always preform a factory reset in iTunes.
Thanks Allan. Got it back!
