My Facebook app froze so I deleted the app and reinstalled it. I've done this before with no problem in the past, but this time it says Facebook is installed, but there's no icon on my iPad. I can't delete it again because there is no icon. HELP!!!

My Facebook app froze so I deleted it and reinstalled it. I've done this several times in the past with no problems. This time, the app store says it's installed, but there is no icon. I can't delete it again, because there is no icon to delete and the app store has it listed as installed. The updates page says it is updated. I have shut my iPad down completely and restarted with no luck. I don't know what else to try. Suggestions?

Try resetting your device. Hold down the power button and the Home button on your iPad, ignore the slide to power off message, continue to hold both buttons until you see the white Apple logo. After it restarts try download the Facebook app again.

The icon may be on a new App page. Also try using the iPad search function to search for "Facebook".

To fix your Facebook app:

Go to "Settings"

Select "General"

Go to "Usage"

Find "Facebook" in the list of apps installed

Swipe across "Facebook"

Press "Delete"

Reinstall "Facebook"
