No App Name in Dock

Hi,

App and folder names are not appearing in the "dock" at the bottom of the home screen on my iPhone SE with IOS 11. It happened after I updated the OS. If I have an app on the home screen itself, the name is there as usual. But as soon as I move it to the bottom dock, the name disappears. Same with folders. Anybody have any idea why this is? I've restarted multiple times. Nothing works.

Thanks

The "feature" is supposed to give a cleaner look as well as not having to scale the app and folder names down to fit how small the icons scale down to when many are added to the dock. Doing so would likely just make the names unreadable.

As KiltedTim mentions, it's by design.

That's by design. It is not broken.
