30+ folders disappeared off iPhone

When I woke up this morning after going to sleep while streaming shows, I come back to my iPhone and the first main desktop looks normal but the following four desktops have disappeared with all my organized folders, etc.!




iPhone 13, iOS 18

Finding Disappeared Fils:

Are you referring to the Files app? Go to the iCloud Drive, and see if they exist in there: https://www.icloud.com/iclouddrive


Troubleshooting Lost Home Screen Apps:

Two methods...

A. Drag it Back:

Swipe your finger in from the right. Then, drag it back over.

No Success?...

B. Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If a widget or app has gone mossing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and organize apps on iPhone - Apple Support. You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there; so, take a screenshot of each Home Screen, so you can add apps back to where there should be.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back
