If you don't remember changing the setting yourself, you likely hid at least one page full of apps from your home screen. Now, if that's not what's happening, and you didn't go into the home screen preferences and change that one setting, you likely did something else that triggered it. So when you first update to iOS 14, newly downloaded apps still appear on your home screen as they always have. It's something you have to activate yourself. The good news is that you can make iOS set things back to normal.Īpple doesn't have iOS set to hide new apps from your home screen by default. Sure, they're always in the App Library, but that shouldn't prevent you from accessing your favorite apps the old-fashioned way. Upgrading to iOS 14 offers many beneficial features, but it also can stop new apps from appearing on your home screen. If you're asking yourself where your newly installed iPhone apps are, you aren't alone.
