home screen pages going missing

Every once in a while, one of the two pages disappear and Im left with one. And then, the other screen which was previously missing comes back and the other disappears. And this has happened time and time again. I try to fix my pages by making the page again, but then that one get dragged into the cycle and then the two earliest pages switch between themselves.

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Hello oozynap,


If you've just hidden a home screen page, you can use these steps to have it shown again:


1. Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
2. Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
3. Tap the circle under the page that you want to hide.
Tap Done. 


If you've completely removed a home screen page with these steps:

1. Touch and hold an empty area on your Home Screen.
2. Tap the dots near the bottom of your screen.
3. Tap the circle under the page that you want to hide.
4. Tap the Remove button , then tap Remove. 

Then you would need to manually recreate that page. There is no option to un-delete or recover a removed home screen page.


Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


Cheers!

I am having the same issue. I got a new iPhone & transfered the old one to the new one. Everything was set up fine on the new phone, including all my apps across 4 or 5 pages. Then, for some reason, I only had the first page of apps. All my other apps were organized on to the second page, under the App Library. I want my 4 pages back.
