Hi 1002murray,


Thanks for reaching out to Apple Support Communities. It is likely that your apps are being stored in your App Library instead of on your Home Screen but the support article below will provide you with some more information on how to rearrange those settings and organize your Home Screen the way you like. You can also adjust your settings to be sure that newly downloaded apps show on your Home Screen and not just in your App Library.


Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


We hope this helps.
