netflix icon missing when uploaded new ios and updated netflix

This AM I updated all my apps that required updating. These were square, facebook, 1 game, and netflix. After that I decided to update my IOS system as well ( I had a 2013 mini ) I did that. Then I decided to check the apps...everything worked except Netflix, it would not load. I dumped the app, and then re-installed it. After that it worked, but there was no app icon on the screen. The only way I could access it is through Applestore. It works now, but it has really bad pixelation. Before the picture was super sharp. OK...I call Netflix, the guy tells me to go to "low" on their picture instead of auto...it works better, but not like before. He told me that the new IOS contains a device that hides the app Icon after several installs, it is to prevent kids from uploading programs. He said I have to call Apple and have them walk me through the features to "turn off" this part of system. Anyone ? I feel like I want to just go back to my old system and old Netflix app...it worked perfectly....
