I do not know what to do. I have tried to open the dark waiting icon, but it does not budge. They have been this way for a long time, even after full shut down. I also can't delete them. When I hold the icon to make them squiggly, they do not have an x in the upper right corner. This is only happening to some of my apps but I would love to get rid of the problem. I would appreciate any advice. Thanks.
iPhone 4S, iOS 7.0.3
Thought I'd answer even though this is old incase someone else gets this.
Rather than re-sync from iTunes, I manages to get it back by going on the AppStore and going to purchases, the apps that were dark had the icon for downloading in progress, but weren't moving. I stopped each one and the changed back to open and are currently working.
Hope this helps someone.
Thanks, that (turning it off and back on again) solved the problem (iPad Pro, iOS 10.3.2). Why didn't I think of that?
It did not help mine. When I opened the App Store and went to purchases, it said open already and it would not open. Any more suggestions???
How do you delete the dark ones
Two of my apps, Messenger and Group Me are dark and say waiting.... underneath them. This has gone on for 2 days and I can not open or delete?
Some App icons dark, waiting, will not open or delete
