Q: ipad pro - 3rd party apps not showing up in settings
Hello.
I recently got an iPad Pro and loaded it with about 30 apps. However, no third party apps are showing up in Settings. There are only stock Apple apps plus at the bottom are Twitter, Facebook, Flickr, and Vimeo--of which I only have Flickr installed. I tried restarting, but it did not fix the issue. Any ideas what's going on?

Hi oregonjoe,
Thanks for the additional information. Joe, your profile indicates you are working with iOS 9.3. Have you updated to the latest version of the iOS, which is iOS 9.3.1? That would be the first step because it would "refresh" the operating system without affecting the data. If you have already updated to iOS 9.3.1, then I would reset all settings, and if the issue persists, try deleting and redownloading one of the apps like Procreate that you use frequently. I'll include resources below that will provide more details.
Update the iOS software on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch

Reset iPad settings. Go to Settings > General > Reset, then choose an option:
