It's not normal, but sometimes it happens and I have been found guilty more than once. Instantly, without the user knowing why, The App Store icon disappears from the iPhone or iPad. And without it, we wouldn't be able to install apps logically. All links to the App Store are redirected to the website.
Why did this happen? It might be a system error or it could be that accidentally hiding the app store, which is very common. Let's take a look at some steps to bring the app store back to our main screen, where it shouldn't have disappeared.
Restrictions, one of the possible causes of disappearance
First let's make sure the App Store really disappears. Let's take a closer look at all the pages of the iPhone or iPad application, looking at the contents of the folders, because we may have unknowingly removed them. An effective way to do it if you have multiple apps installed is to tell Siri "open the app store"or by typing in the & # 39; App Store & # 39; Search Engine for iOS / iPadOS:
If you can't find the app store with this search, then you would not have blocked your access by mistake in blocking the Duration. To view it, go to Settings> Usage Time> Restrictions> Purchases in iTunes and the App Store. If the option & # 39; Install apps & # 39; disallowed, you have just discovered the cause of the problem.
Click & # 39; Install apps & # 39; and Activate the option by clicking & # 39; Allow & # 39; so that the App Store icon appears on your home screen. Remember that if you have a Time of Use function that is encrypted, you will need to enter it to access this section.
If on the other hand the function of & # 39; Install apps & # 39; you are allowed or have a fully Disabled Operation Period, in which case you have entered one of the most unexpected cases: that an iOS error is hiding an icon. Perform the following checks:
- Restart end and check that the App Store icon is no longer available after iOS / iPadOS is reloaded.
- In Settings> General> Software update, check that you have the latest version of iOS / iPadOS. If this is not the case, refresh the system and check that the App Store icon does not appear again after the process.
- If you no longer have the App Store, go to Settings> General> Reset and press & # 39; Reset home screen & # 39;. The first app icon icon will be used, and the App Store icon should appear again.
