Phone  icon  gone missing

My granddaughter was playing with my phone and   now my   green icon for the phone is  gone missing... I know it says you cannot  delete it, but there are only  3  icons on the  bottom  row now... HELP...

It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, the most common folder is one called utilities.  Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.  Alternatively you can reset your home screen in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout.

  • Phone icon contents missing

    The contents of the phone icon on my iPhone 5 (64GB and recently updated to iOS 8.1) are all missing. I can receive calls and see who is calling, but I cannot make calls and access my contacts. I tried restoring it, but it did not change anything. When I search for one of the contacts it does show that contact, but I still cannot dial or access other contacts through the phone app. Has anyone had a similar problem?

    Hello there Gustavo,
    It sounds like you are opening the Phone app but you cannot use any of the tabs even after you restored your device from a backup. I would quit all the running apps:
    iOS: Force an app to close
    Double-click the Home button.
    Swipe left or right until you have located the app you wish to close.
    Swipe the app up to close it.
    When you have done that restart the device and test the issue again:
    iOS: Turning off and on (restarting) and resetting
    If that does not resolve the issue, I would next backup and restore the device as new with iTunes and re test:
    iOS: How to back up your data and set up your device as a new device
    If that does resolve it, then restore your backup and verify it still works, or isolate the issue to the backup file itself. 
    Thank you for using Apple Support Communities.

  • I use iPad 3 suddenly phone icon is missing.  I could browse using 3G network but could not make or receive any calls using cellular network.

    The iPad has no phone Icon, nor phone capabilities.

  • How do I get rid of the number next to the "phone" icon for missed calls on iPhone 4?

    I realize that this number is telling me the number of missed calls and/or voicemails.   However, the number remains on the main screen after I have looked at the missed call (opened "phone" and then "missed").  I can only figure out how to get it to go away when I call the number of the missed call from the missed call menu, which I don't always want to do.  How can I make the number go away without calling the number for the call that I missed? It's probably a silly question but thanks for helping!

    I have same issue I dont want to call it and why should I have to go to Voicemail when there is no voicemail?? My screen did go dark and when I relit it it went away...very weird???

  • App store icon gone missing/Web Content Filter - Apple Configurator

    I am using Apple Configurator to manage the iPads at my school. I changed the settings on my school's profile, within Apple Configurator, so that the App store was not available. The App store icon disappeared and all was good. I decided to change the settings back, to allow the App store, saved the settings and refreshed a group of iPads. The App store icon is still missing and it doesn't appear that my new settings have been applied. I quit Configurator and tried again, but no success. I am running Configurator 1.5 and the ipads are running iOS 7.1.
    Also, I have unchecked the "Allow use of You Tube" button because I want You Tube disabled, but Configurator still allows the use of You Tube through Safari. Is there any way to disable the use of You Tube without using the ridiculous "Web Content Filter", that when activated, limits adult content (good), which seems to include a lot of valuable educational sites (bad)? To me the only other option available seems to be to tick "Specific Websites Only" and spend the next year typing in all the possible sites that might have educational merit, ergo, my use of the word 'ridiculous'. Is there something I am missing?

    Locate it in the Apps folder and drag it to the dock.

  • Airplay icon gone missing

    Hi, only got my iPad 2 yesterday and have set it up along with our new Apple TV (2nd Gen). Am having a few probs but the main one being that the little airplay icon thingy that used to come up when I play a movie has disappeared. I also followed the instructions about pressing the home button twice and then swiping to the right, but this just brings up the play button etc for music/movie. Can anybody help...am desperate to sort out airplay and mirroring.
    Thanks

    I will save you the trouble!
    I had the same problem and went in to apple it worked fine there!
    They told me that they had to reset all there routers because of the new OS iOS 5.
    That worked for me but if that dosent work you have to restore it or take it into apple.

  • Neat little spooky "Home" icon gone missing on iPhone.  Anyone know about it?

    I've had a neat little icon that can be moved around on my Home Page that will take me home at a flick, as well as take me other places I might choose.  It was a dark circle with a lighter circle in the center and could be moved anywhere on the face of the iPhone.  It was present on all pages and was a real boon.  Does anyone know what it is called and how I can get it back?
    Thanks in advance.   ....goldie

    Thank you so much Mr. Allen Sampson for your prompt and acurate response!  That is what I was looking for.  I really do like it even though it's like a little puppy dog always getting under foot. 

  • TS1702 I synched my phone and now my apps icons are missing on my iphone. I can see them and open them if I go to the app store. How do I get the icons back on my screen?

    HELP, I synced my iphone and computer and now my apps icons are missing on the screen of my iphone. I can access the apps only through the apps store by pressing OPEN. How do I get the icons back on the screen for the apps?

    Make sure your phone is connected to the computer and iTunes is open
    1. Visit Instagram.com from your computer web browser
    2. Click "Download in the app store"
    3. It will download and show up in your iTunes
    4. Highlight and sync the app to your iPhone (note: it will not show up on your phone, even after it says syncing is complete).
    5. In iTunes, select the Instagram icon and click "Remove" or "Uninstall"
    6. Click Accept and Uninstall when it asks you to confirm as it will remove instagram and its data from your iPhone
    7. Disconnect the phone from the computer
    8. Manually reboot the phone after exiting all apps
    9. Upon re-start, you will be able to access the app in the App Store, and install it

  • Why is my iTunes icon gone from my phone?

  • Help please....phone icon missing from screen suddenly

    Hi,suddenly I looked at my home screen and it seemed different. I noticed that the phone option is missing from the bottom of the home screen. It is usually down with the icons "mail" "safari" and "ipod". Where did it go and how can I get it back???? Thanks...

    Hello szabc,
    Welcome to the Discussions Boards!
    ride1992 is correct. You may have moved the Phone icon to another page of your home screen. Fortunately the Phone icon is not one that can be deleted - only moved. Information for editing or resetting your home screen is found in the pages ride1992 mentioned.

  • Phone icon on iPhone 4 gone/ Need help pls

    I have a question regarding the phone icon on my iPhone4. Don't know how but it's "poof gone". Mail, Safari and iTunes are still at the bottom. I wasn't even aware these icons were moveable.
    Through Spotlight I can see that the phone function is still there. By tapping on the Home button twice I used to be able to see the icon. When I touched it, the numbers touchscreen came up but no favorites options, contacts, etc. were there.
    Can someone please tell me how to make my phone icon show up again on my phone? I have done the usual - turned it restarted it, did a full restore...still nada.
    Thanks for any help,
    LLReee

    As Emily Latella would say, "Nevermind!".
    I don't know what I did but I know how to fix it now!

  • Phone icon missing

    8900 two days old - trying hard to conquer - cannot locate the phone icon - can anyone help please?
    Solved!
    Go to Solution.

    Oh! The Call Log icon...yes, as above it's hidden in the App folder. Alternatively, you can launch the phone app (with the Green phone key) and one of the selections there should also allow you to access the call log.

  • HELP - missing phone icon

    Am new to smartphones...I got a Droid Maxx this week - while "sweeping" my fingers on the main screen, I moved the phone icon off the screen and cannot figure how to get it back.  Please Help!

    Welcome to Android...and your problem is easily solved if you haven't already got it figured out.  Tap the Apps icon to see  list of all the apps installed on the phone.  Swipe till you see the phone icon, press and hold itto drag it back to your home screen.
    From there you can press and hold and drag it to your favorites at the bottom so it's always there no matter what screen of apps you are on.
