How to recover disappeared apps from Home Screen?

All of a sudden, a whole group of apps has disappeared from my Home Screen. They are apps that I use often; I can still find them if I search for them. I tried a soft reset but this hasn’t resolved the issue. I have an iPhone 11 which has just been updated to the latest iOS, it seems to have happened after the update

Hi everyone! This is the answer to recover your missing first page.

I thought it was only me who experienced it. I believe my toddler played my phone and I can’t seem to recover the first page of my home screen where the group of apps I organised were gone. I read some comments here and troubleshoot my phone and it did work.


Find, hide and remove pages on your Home Screen

With iOS 14 and later, you can hide pages to streamline how your Home Screen looks and add them back whenever you want. Here's how to hide a page:

  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.


My daughter probably hid the first page because it was not ticked when I tried it. Hope it will resolve your issue. It will take a lot of time to search the apps again and reorganise. This is the resolution

Hi! I had an app I played for long time saving up my diamonds to have enough to continue reviving the game and then the game and app no longer on my phone. Where did it go? I’ve spent months saving my diamonds to play and it’s gone. Can’t find in App Store for I phone anymore but I think it’s available still on android phones. How do I get it back on my iPhone? The app is called

“IQ Grand Challenge” I’m trying to recover my lost game.
