Have you experienced this issue where icons are randomly missing from iPhone? Did deleting some stuff and rebooting fix the problem for you? Share with us your troubleshooting experiences in the comments. Nonetheless, try freeing up some storage space on your device, and then rebooting, it should work and the icons should be restored. It appears that variations of this problem have shown up on Apple discussion boards for a while, so if it’s a bug then it may been longstanding and yet to be addressed. It’s not always related, but try and always keep some storage space available on your device so that it performs well. Or perhaps your contacts are seemingly lost, showing phone numbers instead of names as they should. It’s well known the iPhone starts dramatically underperforming and misbehaving when the devices storage is full, sometimes deleting photos, mail, apps (though this is a feature called Offload Apps which is separate from the issue mentioned here), and other data from the device. In my experience, the phone ends up like this in the morning after the iPhone has been plugged in and unused over night, though it’s unclear what if anything that may have to do with why it happens.

However, because clearing up storage space and a reboot seems to fix the problem, it could simply be a quirk of what happens when iPhone has run out of space and can’t figure itself out. Having personally encountered this issue several times with my iPhone 11 running various versions of iOS 14.6 and iOS 14.x, it’s a bit of a mystery as to what is going on. What’s going on here? Why does this happen? Then reboot the iPhone again by turning it off and back on (or hard reboot again).Īt this point the icons should be back on the screen as expected. Make sure the iPhone has at least 1GB of storage space freely available. To turn OFF the screen lock, follow the same steps as above. Go to Settings > General > iPhone Storage and locate apps, videos, or other large data hogs, and remove them from the iPhone. Use Ctrl+L (Cmd+L on Mac) to activate the screen lock (or click on Lock Viber in the menu under your profile picture) the Viber app won’t be accessible and you won’t receive notifications until you enter your password. If the iPhone starts back up and is still missing icons (often they will be different icons missing after a reboot, like a fun game of musical chairs), the next thing to do is to clear up some storage space on the iPhone itself. Sometimes this alone can fix the missing icon problem, or the blank dock issue. The first thing you’ll want to do is reboot your iPhone.Ī hard reboot is often the easiest thing to do, which is accomplished by pressing Volume Up, then Volume Down, then pressing and holding the Power button until you see the  Apple logo show up on screen.

So, does your iPhone screen look something like this, missing icons randomly? But don’t worry, if this happens to you the icons are not gone permanently.

It’s a very strange issue and it can be somewhat alarming. When the icons are missing, the places they should appear on the screen are still taken up, but they are not clickable, and nothing shows up there at all. I've tried looking up some apps on the play store, but I haven't downloaded any because of the reviews.Sometimes the entire bottom row of icons in the Dock are missing, along with other icons that are supposed to be on the iPhone Home Screen or within folders.

#VIBER ICON NOT SHOWING ANDROID#

The solutions proposed in articles I've found on Android 9 but a different phone or on different versions of Android have not worked for me. I wasn't able to find any articles specifically on Android 9 and Samsung Galaxy S9. Question: How do I see number or existence of unread messages on icons of apps such as viber and whatsapp and the SMS app?

#VIBER ICON NOT SHOWING INSTALL#

If I get a message on whatsapp or viber or regular SMS but say I have to install some updates and so my phone has to turn off or restart, then the notification of this message is gone. My situation: I do not have such number or dot on icons on apps on my device. My device: I use Android 9 on samsung galaxy s9.īackground: I believe there was a feature before (or maybe currently still, but I turned it off) about showing number of unread messages on apps like whatsapp, viber or the SMS app (and i guess gmail or facebook) or at the very least there's some kind of dot or something on a corner of the icon of such an app that indicates there exists at least 1 unread message (so the dot is an alternative to a specific number of unread messages).
