Can't find apps on iPhone 6 plus 8.1.1

I have a lot of apps on my phone, so I often pull down the search and start typing the name. Recently a number of my apps don't show up and the best way to find them is to go to the app store and find it there and then click open. What is wrong?

Hi jazzhand,
Try adjusting the Spotlight Search settings on your iPhone, as described in article linked below. If that doesn't do it, the article also provides some additional troubleshooting tips that’ll resolve most issues like the one you described, where Spotlight isn’t returning the results that you’re expecting to see.
iOS: Understanding Spotlight Search - Apple Support
You can enable or disable Spotlight Search for specific types of content and change the order in which results are displayed by tapping Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
If Spotlight does not return expected results:
  • Make sure you're matching the beginning of the word; Spotlight does not search the middle of words.
  • Ensure that the text you entered in the search is correct.
  • Try searching using the first few characters of the words you are trying to find.
  • Review your Search Results settings to see if you excluded any searchable content by tapping Settings > General > Spotlight Search.
Cheers,
-Jason

  • Can't find app on iPhone...

    I have lost my Mail app, the default one. I recently tried the iGmail app and thus moved my Mail app into one of my hidden iPhone app screens. I have now deleted the iGmail one and I can't find the Mail one. When I use the finder on my iPhone it pops up, but it won't show in any of my screens, especially when I look while my phone is connected to iTunes. I want to move it back to my Home screen. Does anyone know what has happened here? So confused.
    Thanks
    Greg

    See if you can see it now.

  • Where can I find an original iPhone 6 Plus digitizer

    Going to repair my iPhone 6 Plus LCD screen. I found a bunch of OEM screens online but does OEM mean they are made by apple. They don't look exactly like the one in my phone. Can anyone recommend a website where I can get authentic Apple LCD screens with digitizer. Thanks!

    Sorry to say but the only way too ensure you're getting a genuine Apple screen is by buying a new phone or by paying the out-of-warranty cost for a replacement ($329 USD). I've seen some selling LCD assemblies for more than that.

  • How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    How can I install ipad apps on iphone 6 plus?

    If it's an app made only for iPad, you can't.  Some developers make apps which will work on both devices (the + sign in the download button indicates).  Some apps are made specifically for one device, and there may be separate versions for each device (so you have to pay twice!).  You can install an iPhone-only app on an iPad (but it usually doesnt look great), but you cannot put a phone-only app on an iPad.

  • HT1975 how can i find my lost iphone if i have the fi d my phone app but my location service is off

    - Go to icloud.com, sign in and go to FIndMyiPhone and send the iPhone a message of where you can be reached.
    Otherwise, the old fashioned way, like if you lost a wallet or purse
    - Change the passwords for all accounts used on the iPad and report to police
    - There is no way to prevent someone from restoring the iPad (it erases it) using it.
    - Apple will do nothing

  • I can't find app for iPad first generation! Why ?

    I Had an iPad first generation  and I can't find app under iOS 5.......why And sometime m'y IPad close alone.

    Apple requirements now ask to make them for iOS 7 and above. iPad 1 has become outdated and there are barely, if any, apps available for this device.
    If your iPad restarts on it's own, try restoring to factory settings.

  • App Store can't find apps

    Even when I type the exact name of the app, App Store can't find apps I know worked very recently.
    Example: Shoeboxed Business Card Reader
    If you search it in App Store you get absolutely no response. It's a product. They have a link to it on their website. But, if you alternatively go to their website and try to get it from iTunes:
    HootSuite is also a widely used app. Or, it was. It's also not in the iPhone search for apps, and won't let you install it from iTunes either.
    If you go from the website direct link:
    It's not in the Canadian store either, by the way.

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, I have been in touch with the Apple Support but they have not given to me a time to the problem be solved, it seems to be a general issue

  • I can't find apps that I've just downloaded out of I tunes on my Mac mini

    I can't find apps that have been downloaded on my Mac mini

    When you say you downloaded apps "out of iTunes" that would imply iOS apps for the iPhone or iPad. Those will be found in ~/Music/ITunes/Mobile Applications where ~/ indicates your home folder. You can install them on the iDevice by attaching it to your computer with a USB cable and launching iTunes.
    I you meant you downloaded them from the App Store, those are only for OS X and will be automatically installed in the /Applications folder on the hard drive root.

  • IOS 7 - can't find apps in the cloud but not downloaded at App Store anymore. Why? How to download purchased apps?

    I can't find apps "not on this iPhone" anymore at App Store. Where are my purchased apps from the cloud?

    First, make sure you are signed in to the iTunes & App Stores:
    Settings > iTunes & App Stores > enter your Apple ID and Password > Sign in
    You can access purchased apps here:
    Open App Store app > Updates > Purchased

  • I can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    i can not find "app of the day" from app store on my ipod,how can i find and download it?

    It is possible that the app was removed from the App Store. If so you will not be able to get it back, unless you have it downloaded on your computer.
    If you had downloaded it before and it is still in the store, you can go to the App Store app on your iPod and go to the Updates tab. Then you tap on "Purchased" and see if it is available to download from your previous purchases.
    Hope this helps!

    Thanks for the reply.
    Although the security of Windows XP SP3 32 bit is compromised by Microsoft no longer supporting XP, if Windows XP was restored as claimed, you should still be able to install/uninstall Premiere Elements versions of it that you did before the Microsoft support removal.
    I think a revisit to the Geeks would be in order. It may be that they could not restore Windows XP because of the Microsoft non support. I would take along the Premiere Elements installation disks so that you do not leave there without actually seeing Premiere Elements (or a non Adobe program) running on your restored Windows XP. What was the other software that you tried to use that did not work?
    Please update us on your progress when you get a chance.
    Best wishes
    Thanks.

  • HT1976 How can I find my lost iPhone 4

    How can I find my lost iPhone 4

    One way is through the Find My Phone application but provided that:-
    1) the iPhone is connected to the internet (be it by way of Wifi OR data); and
    2) you have previously activated the feature.
    Then again, even if the above conditions are true, you will most probably only get the rough location of the phone and not the "exact" location of it.For instance, if the iPhone is in a high rise building with 60 floors, you will only know it is in the building but never which floor it is.
    Unless you are carrying your laptop all around, activating the Siren would assist you in finding your iPhone.
    Good luck (Taken style)
