Where is the app store
App Store Icon Is Missing From iPhone or iPad
help the AppStore icons missing from my
iphone this could happen for a couple of
reasons maybe your kids are playing
around with it an update who knows the
first thing to check those just make
sure you don't see it yes I never try to
find an app by actually searching for
the icon the way I always do it as I
slide down and then I type in the app
I'm looking for in this case I'm looking
for App Store now a lot of people after
one of these updates they're getting the
Apple Store but they're not getting the
App Store and the Apple Store and App
Store aren't the same thing sometimes I
get the iTunes Store confused with the
App Store but for some people the App
Store is missing most likely the reason
why is you probably do have kids and you
probably have some kind of restrictions
on and you forgot about them so the way
to undo that tap Settings and go to
there's a new thing here in iOS 12
screen time and then content privacy and
restrictions which is right here
and then this is probably turned on and
if that's turned on there also is
allowed apps and iTunes and App Store
purchases so the first thing because if
you're panicking I am I have store item
app store just turn this thing off and
it should restore your App Store icon if
you do need these restrictions toggle
some of the features back and forth and
see how that all affects the behavior of
your phone and chances are that'll get
you fixed up if all that still fails you
can do a reset home screen layout by
going to Settings General and then go to
reset be careful when you go to reset
and you'll see on here reset home screen
layout and that should return your icons
to default settings and restore the App
Store icon now if if this is an iPad
you're looking up and it's provided to
you by the organization you work for
it's possible that they have some kind
of mobile device management on it so you
may need to talk to your IT department
there but hopefully chances are all you
need to do is go
the general go-to screen time and toggle
that switch on and off let's go back
once it just to look at that again four
so screen time and then go to content
and privacy and that's where you'll
toggle this back and forth and be
mindful if you do have to talk about and
look through the the iTunes App Store
purchases allowed apps content
restrictions you might even want to look
at some of these make sure that none of
these are blocking your app store also a
tip as I brought up
don't try to fumble around and try to
find the app you're looking forward just
slightly pull down key in the first
couple letters so you want I Tunes there
it is iTunes Store that's the tip anyway
