How to fix: Camera icon missing on iOS devices

There may be times where you are unable to see the camera icon on your iPhone or iPad device. This is not an uncommon issue and it can happen after the iOS is updated. But don’t worry, even if you deleted or moved the camera icon by mistake, it is possible to get it back. Here we will check the options to get this issue resolved.

What can you do?

The first option is to check is that the camera is not restricted. In the most recent versions of iOS, you need to make sure that it is set to green.

It is possible that the camera icon is hidden in a folder. In that case, the best thing would be to check every folder to try to find it. This may take a while, but if you accidentally moved the icon, it may be the bets way to find it.

Another possible solution is to go to Settings, then General, Reset and tap “Reset Home Screen Layout”. This will bring your home screen icons back to their default location so even if you moved them somewhere else, you can get them back to their original place.

Another simple solution would be to check if the camera icon was moved to a different home screen. You just need to swipe through the different iPhone home screens until you find the missing icon.
