New and/or duplicated apps in iCloud settings on iPhone 12, iOS 15.5.

One day this new app appeared in my iCloud settings titled “setup” with no icon, and then a duplicate of my photos and my messages app appear as well.

This is alarming to me because I can’t find ANY information about it on the internet (like not even remotely close. Yes I tried multiple browsers) and because I recently dealt/am dealing with a weird security issue.


Before I get any generic answers though, yes I try changing my password, resetting my device, verifying my account and no other devices attached to it, and the obvious solutions..

Duplicate Apps:

This is a glitch in the latest update that's been rough bu plenty of times. So, wait for the next update.

No. It's not a security risk; but rather a settings concern. The settings may conflict with each other.


Update your iPhone:

I haven't seen many reports on this recently. So, update your device to the most recent update, if not done so, already.
