There seems to be a lot of people having this issue after a recent upgrade. I fell “victim” to it as well. One day the calculator is there, and the next… it’s gone
But it’s not really gone. The calculator app is still there… You can see it when you search you phone, it still works when you click on the listing, but the icon has gone.
The reason for this is that Apple has decided that it knows better where I want my icons to be placed n my own phone then I do. They’ve changed the system on that particular update to move a few apps into a new ‘Utilities’ folder that wasn’t there before. So, your apps haven’t been removed, they’ve just been moved.
Is this a good idea? I can understand why it’d be useful for users that have just got a new phone and should know that creating folders is possible, but when they mess with the location of icons that I have set up already on my phone, that’s wrong. I had mine set the way that I wanted them to work, but apparently that isn’t what they wanted.
At least now I’ve found it out, and changed it back to the way that I want it to be. Lets just hope that Apple doesn’t decide to change anything else for me without telling me about it first.
