iPhone 15 pro, iOS 26.2: no app, folder or bookmark labels
Ever since I updated my iOS to 26.x, my apps, folders and bookmarks are missing their labels! I just did a complete erase and restore of my phone. Still gone.
I’ve checked every setting.
Help!
iPhone 15 Pro, iOS 26
It's not always the iOS update's fault! Many things can cause phone problems. If you tell people you think it's an iOS update, it might make it harder to fix or find a solution for the real issue.
Remember, the right question often leads to the solution!
Was/Is your device Jailbroken? If that's the situation, please be informed that attributing the issues to iOS updates may not be accurate.
iOS updates aim to enhance user experience, boost security, and fix bugs rather than disrupt core features. The majority of the issues after updates might stem from underlying, unmentioned factors. Updates won't typically alter personal data but may refine settings or features. Backup before major updates for safety. Review Apple's update details and backup advice for a smooth process.
Kindly consider checking your settings and addressing any device issues before attributing the issue to external factors. This could be a pure coincidence that the iOS update affected the iPhone functions.
Before initiating a standard iOS update, it's advisable to create a backup. Have you completed this step? If yes, proceed with the restoration from the backup.

Found the answer that works for me on YouTube! When you press and hold on the Home Page, choose edit (upper left corner on my phone), then customize. There are 2 icon boxes to the right of the word Customize. Tap on the very small one, which selects small icons. Your labels will appear!

So you agree it is not iOS 26.x related. The feature you saw on YouTube was there much earlier than iOS 26.
Agree, this customize option has probably been there for a while, but I didn’t have the issue until I updated to the new operating system. I probably should have called Apple Support right away!
No app, folder, or bookmark labels after updating to iOS 26. Am I missing a setting?
