I recently updated my iPhone 4 to IOS 6. I no longer can find the Settings icon on my desktop. I can find Settings by swiping to the right to the blnak desktop and then key Settings into theSearch iPhone field. How can I retore it to y desktop?
It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto another screen or into a folder, check the Utilities folder if you have one. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app is still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it. Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.
The only thing that worked was your last suggestion which reset the home screen layout. I lost all of the folders I had created in IOS 5 so now I will drag the icons together and re create the folders I had.
Thanks for your suggestion. Disappointing that upgrading to IOS 6 caused this extra work.
You're welcome.
