Finding Downloads: App Not Showing on iPhone

Although one of the aims of iOS updates is to better organize and freshen your app collection, it can sometimes have the opposite effect. Certain settings and features can prevent new app downloads from being readily visible on your Home screen. The troubleshooting tips below should help you locate the app you're looking for and place it exactly where you want it. Remember, if you regret a download you can always learn how to delete apps on an iPhone. 

Can’t Find an App on Your iPhone? Use the App Library

It’s important to know that when newly downloaded apps are missing from your iPhone’s Home screen, they are merely hidden. They can easily be found, accessed and added to your Home screen. This can be done in the App Library. Read on to learn how to see hidden apps on iPhone.

1. Go to the App Library by swiping left on your Home screen until you've gone one screen past your last Home screen page.
   
   
2. Tap into the search bar and type in the name of the app you're looking for. If you do not want to use the search bar, you can simply scroll through the apps in the App Library.
   
   
    
3. Once you find the app you're looking for, tap and hold the app icon, then drag it in any direction and it will be added to the last page of your Home screen.

1. Open the Settings app.
   
   
2. Scroll down and tap Home Screen.

How to Download & Install Zoom & Create a Zoom Account on an iPhone & iPad

If you want to install and use Zoom on your iPhone or iPad, visit the App Store and download Zoom Cloud Meetings (Free). If you're new to this, check out our tip on how to download apps. Once you've downloaded and opened the Zoom app, it's time to create an account.

1. When you open the Zoom app, you'll see three options; tap Sign Up.
   
   
    
2. Enter your birth date and tap Confirm.
   
   
    
3. Enter your name and email address, agree to the Terms of Service, and tap Sign Up.
   
   
    
4. Tap OK, then go to the inbox associated with the email address you entered, and click the link to activate your Zoom service.
   
   

You'll set up a password, which you can save to your iCloud Keychain. If you need to enable your iCloud Keychain, we have a tip on how to do that.

The Zoom app will ask if it can send notifications and access your calendar, to help you schedule and remember your meetings. You'll also have the option to enable Zoom to use Siri, so you can use Siri to start your Zoom calls. If your device has Touch ID or Face ID enabled, you'll have the option to sign in with these features. 

How to Join a Zoom Meeting

If someone else has set up a Zoom meeting, there's more than one way to join, since there is more than one way to be invited. If you've received an invitation via email or text message, click the Zoom link included, and follow the prompts. You need to enter a password if one was included. If you don't have a link, but have the Meeting ID, follow the steps below.   

1. Open the Zoom app and tap Join.
   
   
    
2. Enter the Meeting ID if you're joining a meeting for the first time.

6. Tap Join.
   
   

*Note: Many people get confused during Zoom calls because icons disappear from your display if you haven't touched it in a while. Just tap your screen once, and all the controls will reappear. *

How to Create a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) to Set Up Scheduled or Instant Zoom Meetings 

Zoom offers two types of meetings, Scheduled or Instant. If you need to host either type of Zoom meeting, set up a Personal Meeting ID (PMI). Using a PMI sets up a virtual meeting room that's always available at that address (PMI). This virtual meeting room will always be accessible using its link and PMI, so people you share this login information with can join meetings in this Personal Meeting room at any time. Personal Meeting IDs are also handy because you can customize audio, video, recording, and security settings as needed for each of your PMIs, and not have to start from scratch before each meeting. 

If you have several different types of meetings to conduct, such as one for friends and another for family, or one for your clients and another for the executive team, you'll want to set up a separate virtual meeting room with its own PMI for each one. Also, be sure to only share the link and PMI with people who need to join that particular meeting.

Don't use a PMI that you want to use for personal or work meetings for a public event where you share the Zoom link on, say, social media. Anyone who saves that link can enter your meeting room at any time after that, and share it with others, who can crash your meeting as well. You'll find instructions below for how to password protect your Zoom meeting rooms, but even so, if someone you invited shares the link and password with people you didn't invite, things can quickly get out of hand.

Here are instructions for setting a meeting room with a Personal Meeting ID.

1. Open the Zoom app and tap New Meeting.
   
   
    
2. Toggle on Use Personal Meeting ID.
   
   
    
3. Tap Start a Meeting.
   
   
    
4. If you want video, tap OK when the app asks for camera access.
   
   
    
5. Tap Call using Internet Audio to enable sound.  
   
   
    
6. Tap the screen to reveal the controls at the bottom, then tap Participants.
   
   
    
7. Tap Invite to send people a link to your meeting. 
   
   
    
8. Methods include Send Email, Send Message, Invite Contacts, or Copy Invite Link. 
   
   

You can now use this PMI for future meetings, whether scheduled or instant. You can invite more people later, set a meeting password, and change multiple other audio, video, and security settings as needed. 

How to Host a Scheduled Zoom Meeting

You can start a scheduled meeting with a Personal Meeting ID (PMI) you previously created, or without one. To do this:

1. Tap the Schedule tab on the Zoom app Home screen.
   
    
    
2. Fill in the meeting name, choose start time and duration, decide whether or not to use a PMI, set your passcode, enable a waiting room, and other meeting options.
   
   
    
3. Tap Advanced Options if you'd like to allow meeting members to join before you, or automatically record your meeting. Tap Save when finished.
   
   
    
4. A Zoom link and invitation will be generated; enter recipients in the To: field, then tap the send icon. 
   
   
   
    
5. When it's time for your meeting to begin, tap Start next to its Meeting ID on your Zoom Home screen.

How to Edit Personal Meeting Room Settings

To edit your meeting settings before the meeting starts:

1. Tap Meetings on the Zoom app home screen.
   
   
    
2. Tap the Personal Meeting ID, then tap Edit.
   
   
    
3. From here, you can start the meeting early, add invitees, or delete the meeting. Tap Edit again to change more settings.
   
   
    
4. Here you can change when the meeting starts, its duration, the time zone, whether it repeats, the options to require a meeting password, enable a waiting room, allow participants to join before the host, and automatically record the meeting. 
   
   

When you toggle on Require Meeting Password, a field will appear where you can enter a password every meeting member will need to enter before entering the virtual meeting room.

Toggle on Enable Waiting Room, and Zoom creates a page where participants wait until you, the moderator, approves them to join.

Allow Join Before Host enables meeting invitees to enter the virtual meeting room before the host does.

Automatically Record Meeting allows the host to choose the location where a copy of the Zoom meeting will be stored. 

Extra Zoom Settings & Features 

*Note: Many people get confused during Zoom calls because icons disappear from your display if you haven't touched it in a while. Just tap your screen once, and all the controls will reappear. *

How to Share Your Screen on Zoom

You can screen share your iPhone or iPad display during a Zoom meeting to another iPhone, iPad, or Mac. Follow the steps above for starting a Zoom meeting, then invite participants and share invitations as usual. From here:

1. Tap the Share Content icon at the bottom of your screen.
   
   
    
2. Tap Screen.

How to Chat During a Meeting

1. Tap the More icon at the bottom of the screen.
   
   
    
2. Tap Chat.
   
   

As with the Share icon, the More icon leads to many other meeting options. 

1. Tap Meeting Settings to Mute upon Entry, Always Show Meeting Controls, and more. 
   
   
    
2. Tap Minimize Meeting to shrink your meeting display to a small portion of your screen. 
   
   
    
3. Tap Background and Filters use a background from Zoom, create your own, or add a filter. We also have a full guide to adding preset and custom Zoom backgrounds and filters. 
   
   

In addition to using backgrounds, you can also get fancy with filters. Learn how to look good on Zoom using the Touch Up My Appearance feature.

Siri Shortcuts & Zoom 

Siri and Zoom go great together; you can set up shortcuts to view your meetings that day, join your next scheduled meeting, or start a personal meeting. For this to work, you'll need to have Hey Siri enabled on your iPhone or iPad. To set up a Siri Shortcut on your device:

1. Tap Settings at the bottom of the Zoom app Home screen.
   
   
    
2. Tap Siri Shortcuts.
   
   
    
3. Tap the phrase you'd like to add to Siri's repertoire.
   
      
    
4. Tap Add to Siri, then tap the red button and record the phrase for the shortcut.
   
   

To use your shortcut, just say, "Hey, Siri", then use the phrase you recorded for the Siri Shortcut you chose.
