The Apps at the bottom

Ive just downloaded IOS 16 and now the 4 apps i had at the bottom of my screen are now vertical and i cannot click on them. Plus the only way to go into the app is to remove it from the bottom and add it to the Home Screen

iPhone 8, iOS 16

Hi FredCush,


If you haven't done so yet, restart your iPhone. Sometimes, restarting can correct unexpected behavior. Although the title of this article doesn't describe the exact issue you've noticed, the steps may still be helpful: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support

1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
 
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.
 

If the issue persists, reach out to Apple Support directly so they can look into this with you further. They can be contacted here: Get Support, or by calling the most applicable phone number from this list: Contact Apple for support and service.


Best regards.
