iOS 14 及更高版本中引入的应用程序库(App Library)无疑为 iPhone 和 iPad 用户带来了游戏规则的改变。该功能提供了所有应用程序的组织视图,消除了无数充满图标的主屏幕页面的需要。
然而,尽管有很多好处,但在某些情况下,应用程序库(App Library)尚未出现在某些设备上。如果您在 iPhone 或 iPad 上遇到此故障,以下是一些实用的修复方法,可以帮助您恢复应用程序库(App Library)。

1.检查您的通知徽章设置(Notification Badges Settings)
您寻求帮助可能不是因为整个应用程序库(App Library)都消失了,而是因为已移至应用程序库的(App Library)iPad 或 iPhone 应用程序没有显示通知徽章。
通知徽章是应用程序图标上出现的红色小圆圈,表示未读通知。有时,这些通知徽章不会出现在您的应用程序库(App Library)中,导致您忽略重要通知并使其看起来需要修复。
您所要做的就是检查是否启用了在应用程序库(App Library)中显示通知徽章的设置。为此,请导航至Settings > Home Screen和Multitasking > Notification Badges。

确保(Make)启用了“在应用程序库(App Library)中显示”(Show)选项。如果它已关闭,打开它应该会使通知徽章出现在应用程序库(App Library)中。
2. 重新启动您的设备
与任何技术一样,您的 iPhone 或 iPad 有时需要简单的重新启动才能解决问题。为此,请按住侧面按钮和音量按钮,直到出现关机滑块。对于带有主页按钮(Home Button)的设备,您无需按住音量按钮。

滑动(Swipe)滑块,等待设备关闭,然后再次按侧面按钮将其重新打开。有时,一个小的软件故障会导致应用程序库(App Library)无法出现在最后一个主屏幕上,只需重新启动即可解决此问题。
有关详细说明,请参阅我们有关如何重新启动 iPhone 的(how to restart your iPhone)指南,尽管这些方法同样适用于 iPad。
3. 更新您的 iOS 或 iPadOS 设备
Apple通过 iOS 15、iOS 16 和即将推出的 iOS 17 等重大升级不断增强其 iOS,通常还捆绑了大量错误修复和新功能。

如果您的应用程序库(App Library)未显示,请将您的 iPhone 或 iPad 更新到最新的 iOS。如果您不确定如何执行软件更新,请参阅我们有关如何手动检查新更新或启动 iOS 更新的(start an iOS update)指南。具体来说,(Update)第五项– 手动启动(– Manually Initiate)更新。
4. 确保应用程序库(App Library)已启用
应用程序库(App Library)是一项您可以根据自己的喜好打开或关闭的功能。您或使用该设备的其他人可能意外禁用了应用程序库功能,但再次打开它很容易。
- 打开iOS 设备上的
“设置”应用程序。(Settings)
- 点击(Tap)选项列表中的
主屏幕(Home Screen)和多任务处理。(Multitasking)
- 确保在(Make)“新下载的应用程序”(Newly Downloaded Apps)部分中选择“添加(Add)到主屏幕”(Home Screen)。

- 另外,请确保选择在Dock中(Dock)显示应用程序库。(Show App Library)

如果之前选择了“仅应用程序库”(App Library Only),您的应用程序将不会显示在主屏幕上,而只会显示在“应用程序库”(App Library)中。
5.检查您的屏幕时间设置
屏幕时间(Time)是 iOS 12 中引入的实用程序,可让您监视和控制设备的使用情况。它还可以限制您设备上的某些功能。
转到Settings > Screen Time确保它不会阻止应用程序库(App Library)的显示。如果应用程序库(App Library)受到内容(Content)和隐私限制(Privacy Restrictions),您需要修改设置。


6.删除并重新安装行为不当的应用程序(Reinstall Misbehaving Apps)
单个应用程序有时可能会导致影响设备上其他功能的故障。如果您发现安装特定应用程序后
应用程序库开始表现异常,请考虑删除该下载的应用程序以检查是否可以解决问题。(App Library)
- 长按应用程序图标,然后在弹出窗口中选择删除应用程序。(Remove App)

- 选择删除应用程序。

- 如有必要,
请从App Store重新安装该应用程序。(App Store)
7. 重置所有设置
如果上述解决方案均无效,请考虑重置 iPhone 或 iPad 上的所有设置。在继续之前,请记住此步骤会将所有系统设置恢复为出厂默认设置。
您不会丢失任何个人数据,但与Wi-Fi、蓝牙(Bluetooth)、请勿打扰(Disturb)、通知等(Notifications)相关的设置将被重置。
为此,请转至Settings > General > Transfer或重置 [设备] > 重置 > 重置所有设置。

8.检查隐藏的主屏幕页面(Hidden Home Screen Pages)
从 iOS 14 开始,苹果(Apple)引入了一项功能,允许 iPhone 和 iPad 用户隐藏整个主屏幕页面,从而将这些页面上的所有应用程序移至应用程序库(App Library)。如果您无意中隐藏了某个页面,您寻找的应用程序就会出现;它们已被转移到应用程序库(App Library)。当然,如果您找不到App Library,这就是一个问题,因此解决此问题的一种方法是取消隐藏这些隐藏页面。
要取消隐藏这些页面:
- 长按主屏幕的空白区域,直到应用程序图标开始抖动。
- 点击屏幕底部的页面点可打开所有主屏幕页面的鸟瞰图。

- 选中您想要取消隐藏的所有页面,然后选择“完成”(Done)。


9. 验证您的Apple ID和 iCloud设置(Settings)。
您的Apple ID和 iCloud 设置对于跨设备同步数据至关重要。如果您最近更新到了新版本的 iOS 或 iPadOS,请仔细检查您是否已登录正确的Apple ID并且您的 iCloud 设置是否已正确配置,否则这可能会影响应用程序库(App Library)是否正确显示。
前往“设置”(Settings),点击顶部显示您姓名的横幅,并确保显示的Apple ID是您想要使用的 ID。

接下来,点击 iCloud 并检查使用(Apps Using)iCloud 的应用程序是否包含您要同步的所有应用程序。

10.利用Siri或Spotlight搜索(Spotlight Search)
如果您确实无法找到或恢复应用程序库来访问已安装的应用程序,则有两种替代方法可以访问 iPhone 或 iPad 上的应用程序:Siri和Spotlight 搜索(Spotlight Search)。
使用 Siri
(Siri)当您试图找到看似丢失的应用程序时,Apple 的语音激活个人助理Siri可以成为您的救星。要使用Siri,您只需激活它,然后要求它打开您要查找的应用程序。
要激活Siri,您可以按住侧面按钮(或主页按钮,如果型号有的话),或者简单地说“嘿(Hey) Siri ”(前提是您已启用此功能)。

Siri激活后,您可以命令它打开您的应用程序。说出类似“(Say)嘿 Siri(Hey Siri) ,打开 [应用程序名称]”的内容,Siri就会立即为您启动该应用程序。
例如,如果您找不到Facebook应用程序,只需说“嘿 Siri(Hey Siri),打开Facebook”。” 此命令无需找到应用程序图标,而是提供直接访问。
使用 Spotlight 搜索

Spotlight Search是 iPhone 和 iPad 中内置的另一个强大工具,可作为满足您设备所有搜索需求的中心枢纽。如果您找不到应用程序,只需在 iPad 或 iPhone 主屏幕上向下滑动即可,这将显示顶部的搜索栏。您可以在此处键入您要查找的应用程序的名称。
当您开始输入时,您的 iPhone 或 iPad 将填充结果列表。这些结果将包括应用程序、建议的网站、Siri建议等。

您要查找的应用程序应出现在该列表顶部的“应用程序”标题下。只需(Simply)点击它即可直接打开应用程序。
11. 注销并(Out)重新登录您的 Apple ID(Log Back Into Your Apple ID)
有时,由于您的Apple ID问题,可能会出现某些故障。注销然后重新登录您的Apple ID可能会有所帮助。转到“设置”(Settings)应用程序,然后点击顶部您的名字。
然后向下滚动并点击“注销”(Sign Out)。

注销后,重新启动您的设备,然后返回“设置”并再次使用您的(Settings)Apple ID登录。
12.重新安装iOS或iPadOS
如果您仍然遇到问题并且其他所有方法都失败,请考虑重新安装操作系统。将您的设备连接到Mac或 PC,然后使用(Mac)Finder(在Mac上)或 iTunes(在Windows上)执行恢复。请务必先备份您的设备以防止任何数据丢失。
如果您不确定如何使用Mac或 PC 重新安装或恢复 iOS,请参阅我们有关如何恢复 iOS 的(how to restore iOS)指南。
13.联系苹果支持
如果应用程序库(App Library)仍然没有显示,则可能是硬件或更隐蔽的软件问题造成的。在这种情况下,联系Apple 支持(Apple Support)可能是您最好的选择。您可以通过他们的网站或电话联系他们,甚至可以在您所在地区的
Apple Store 零售店(Apple Store)进行预约。
对于 iPhone 用户或 iPad 粉丝来说,应用程序库比迄今为止在(App Library)Android设备上的任何类似解决方案更容易组织应用程序,希望通过这些全面的故障排除技巧,您可以在将其从隐藏的地方赶出后找到您的应用程序。
App Library Not Showing on Your iPhone/iPad? 13 Fixes To Try
The introdυction of thе App Library with iОS 14 and later versions has undeniably been a game-changer for iPhone and іPad users. The fеature provides an organized view of all your aрps, eliminating the need for сountless homе screen pages full of icons.
However, despite its numerous benefits, there have been instances where the App Library has yet to appear on some devices. Here are a few practical fixes that can help restore your App Library if you encounter this glitch on your iPhone or iPad.

1. Check Your Notification Badges Settings
You might be looking for help not because your entire App Library is gone, but because iPad or iPhone apps that have moved to the App Library aren’t showing their notification badges.
Notification badges are where a small red circle appears on your app icons, indicating unread notifications. Sometimes, these notification badges do not appear in your App Library, causing you to overlook important notifications and make it seem like it needs to be fixed.
All you have to do is check if the setting to show notification badges in the App Library is enabled. To do this, navigate to Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Notification Badges.

Make sure that the Show in App Library option is enabled. If it was turned off, turning it on should make the notification badges appear in the App Library.
2. Restart Your Device
Like any tech, your iPhone or iPad sometimes needs a simple restart to resolve a problem. To do this, press and hold the side and volume buttons until the power off slider appears. You don’t need to hold the volume button down for devices with a Home Button.

Swipe the slider, wait for the device to switch off, and press the side button again to turn it back on. Sometimes a minor software glitch prevents the App Library from appearing on the last home screen, and a simple restart can resolve this.
For detailed instructions refer to our guide on how to restart your iPhone, although these methods work just as well for iPads.
3. Update Your iOS or iPadOS Device
Apple continually enhances its iOS with significant upgrades like iOS 15, iOS 16 and the upcoming iOS 17, often bundled with numerous bug fixes and new features.

If your App Library isn’t showing, update your iPhone or iPad to the latest iOS. If you’re unsure how to perform a software update, refer to our guide on how to manually check for a new update or start an iOS update. Specifically entry five – Manually Initiate the Update.
4. Ensure That App Library Is Enabled
The App Library is a feature you can turn on or off according to your preference. You or someone else using the device might have accidentally disabled the app library feature, but it’s easy enough to turn it back on again.
- Open the Settings app on your iOS device.
- Tap on Home Screen & Multitasking in the list of options.
- Make sure Add to Home Screen is selected in the Newly Downloaded Apps section.

- Also, ensure that Show App Library in Dock is selected.

If App Library Only was previously chosen, your apps will not appear on the home screen but only in the App Library.
5. Check Your Screen Time Settings
Screen Time, a utility introduced in iOS 12, allows you to monitor and control your device usage. It can also restrict certain features on your device.
Ensure it’s not preventing the App Library from showing by going to Settings > Screen Time. You need to modify the settings if the App Library is under the Content & Privacy Restrictions.


6. Remove and Reinstall Misbehaving Apps
A single app can sometimes cause glitches that affect other features on your device. If you notice that the App Library started behaving abnormally after a particular app was installed, consider removing that downloaded app to check if it resolves the issue.
- Long-press the app icon, and select Remove App in the popup.

- Choose Delete App.

- Reinstall the app from the App Store if necessary.
7. Reset All Settings
If none of the above solutions work, consider resetting all settings on your iPhone or iPad. Before proceeding, remember that this step will revert all system settings to factory defaults.
You won’t lose any personal data, but settings related to your Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, Do Not Disturb, Notifications, and others will be reset.
To do this, go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset [Device] > Reset > Reset All Settings.

8. Check for Hidden Home Screen Pages
Starting from iOS 14, Apple introduced a feature that allows iPhone and iPad users to hide entire home screen pages, consequently moving all the apps on those pages to the App Library. If you’ve unintentionally hidden a page, the apps you seek are present; they’ve been relocated to the App Library. Of course, that’s a problem if you can’t find the App Library, so one way around this is to unhide those hidden pages.
To unhide these pages:
- Perform a long press on an empty area of your home screen until the app icons start jiggling.
- Tap on the page dots at the bottom of the screen to open a bird’s eye view of all your home screen pages.

- Check any pages you want to unhide and select Done.


9. Verify Your Apple ID and iCloud Settings.
Your Apple ID and iCloud settings are crucial in synchronizing your data across your devices. If you’ve recently updated to a new version of iOS or iPadOS, double-check that you’re signed into the correct Apple ID and that your iCloud settings are correctly configured, or this could affect whether the App Library displays correctly.
Go to Settings, tap on the banner at the top displaying your name, and ensure that the Apple ID shown is the one you want to use.

Next, tap iCloud and check that Apps Using iCloud includes all the apps you want to synchronize.

10. Leverage Siri or Spotlight Search
If you really can’t find or restore the app library to access your installed apps, there are two alternative ways to access apps on your iPhone or iPad: Siri and Spotlight Search.
Using Siri
Siri, Apple’s voice-activated personal assistant, can be a lifesaver when you’re trying to locate a seemingly missing app. To use Siri, you simply need to activate it and then ask it to open the app you’re trying to find.
To activate Siri, you can either hold down the side button (or the home button, for models that have one) or simply say “Hey Siri,” provided you’ve enabled this feature.

Once Siri is active, you can command it to open your app. Say something along the lines of, “Hey Siri, open [app name],” and Siri should promptly launch the app for you.
For instance, if you can’t locate your Facebook app, just say, “Hey Siri, open Facebook.” This command bypasses the need to locate the app icon, providing direct access instead.
Using Spotlight Search

Spotlight Search is another powerful tool built into your iPhone and iPad, serving as a central hub for all your device’s search needs. If you can’t find an app, simply swipe down on the iPad or iPhone home screen, which will reveal the search bar at the top. Here, you can type the name of the app you’re looking for.
As you start typing, your iPhone or iPad will populate a list of results. These results will include apps, suggested websites, Siri suggestions, and more.

The app you’re looking for should appear at the top of this list under the “Applications” heading. Simply tap on it to open the app directly.
11. Log Out and Log Back Into Your Apple ID
Sometimes, certain glitches may arise due to issues with your Apple ID. Logging out and then logging back into your Apple ID may help. Go to the Settings app and tap your name at the top.
Then scroll down and tap on Sign Out.

After signing out, restart your device, then go back to Settings and sign in with your Apple ID again.
12. Reinstall iOS or iPadOS
If you still face issues and all else has failed, consider reinstalling your operating system. Connect your device to a Mac or PC, then perform a restore using Finder (on Mac) or iTunes (on Windows). Make sure to back up your device first to prevent any data loss.
If you’re unsure how to reinstall or restore iOS using a Mac or PC, refer to our guide on how to restore iOS.
13. Contact Apple Support
If the App Library still isn’t showing up, it might be a hardware or more obscure software issue that’s to blame. In such a case, reaching out to Apple Support may be your best bet. You can contact them via their website or phone or even book an appointment at an Apple Store if one is available in your area.
For iPhone users or iPad fans, the App Library made it far easier to organize apps than any comparable solution so far on an Android device, and hopefully, with these comprehensive troubleshooting tips, you’ve found yours after shooing it out of its hiding place.
