After iOS 11 upgrade, for Phone, Mail, Messages and Safari icons, the labels are missing when these icons are in the dock.
Can I add the labels back?
Thanks
Actual answer to your question, as supposed to a justification of why the labels are missing ...
no, you cannot add the labels back.
There is a funky workaround where you can enable restrictions, toggle an app on and off, and if that app is on the dock, the label will appear. It seems more like a bug than an actual solution, so the answer still stands, the labels cannot be added back.
It was intentional and therefore not a bug. You can send feedback to Product Feedback - Apple
Hi. Apple explicitly does not read these forums. The place for feedback is this link: Feedback - iPhone - Apple.
Can't you still put a folder in the dock?
Apple isn't listening here. Please let them know by posting at this link: Feedback - iPhone - Apple.
The first "answer" is not an answer to the original question.
This is absolutely ridiculous that the text labels have been removed. In all my years as an iPhone user this annoys me the most.
I too am unhappy that in IOS11 Apple decided not to allow the icon titles or at least give us the option. Makes too much effort for me to see what the app is.
Not sure I follow your funky work around
That level of customisation has never been a feature of iOS...
So this is just the latest in a long line of "stupid iOS tricks", or is it a bug?
Me too
It’s a “design defect” in your opinion. It’s not a bug - the captions are not there by design. I think it looks better and I don’t need telling what the 4 dock icons are.
I too am very annoyed at the missing labels on the dock icon. This should be an option!
Except, that level of customisation has never been a feature of iOS... Apple.com/feedback
Apple's policy over the last few years of removing useful features, presumably to make way for stuff nobody wants or needs, is going to drive me out of the Apple platform.
My wife and I both have the iphone 7 and with latest IOS and her phone has dock labels and mine does not ???
