If you can’t find an app on your iPhone or can’t open it from its previous location, it may have become hidden somehow. In this post, we’ll explain all the ways you can make apps show up again on your Home screen, share sheet, and App Store on your iPhone. As a bonus, we’ll also include bonus guides on how to make apps show up again on your Apple Watch or prevent apps from hiding in the first place.

There are several ways to unhide apps on your iPhone. If there are apps that don’t appear on your home screen, share sheet, App Library, or App Store purchases list, you can restore them and unhide them using the following methods.

If you have previously used content restrictions to limit your children's use of your iPhone, some apps may not appear on your iPhone in such cases.

Sometimes, when you share content somewhere, you may have noticed that iOS doesn’t show all the apps installed on your iPhone on the Share Sheet. This could be because the apps you want to share are disabled from the Share Sheet. However, apps can be made visible on the Share Sheet again by simply toggling them back on.
