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.
Please bring the labels back ASAP!
What a truly stupid move. the icons in ios 10 and 11 (I have two phones) are the size.
APPLE, GIVE USERS THE OPTION TO LEAVE APP NAMES IN TH DOCK ON OR OFF
Complaining here does no good. See above on how to submit feedback.
I put entire folders in my dock. Now I cannot tell which folder is which.
Agreed. We need the labels back, or at least the option.
I would rather have labeled folders or apps in the dock than more folders or apps. The labels are important.
I feel stupid that every other app has a name under it, I want them gone too!
Crap I’d pay 5 bucks for that option, and a transparent icon container ... oh how sweet that would be.
No everyone spends time memorizing icons. Reading a label is much faster.
Then file feedback as suggested; no one here has the ability to make this change or to convince anyone at Apple to do so, we're just users like you.
You aren’t talking to Apple here. You can submit feedback as previously mentioned.
I hear you and your frustrations, but the Apple way has never really been about options has it...
Well said. It’s bad enough that I need to learn the icons - now I need to help my 81yr old father learn them - this is a real confidence booster to someone who already struggles.
You’ve described me. All icons are just colours to me. A nightmare for me - I now have to position them in my alphabetical order as the easiest way for me to remember them.
