Expert Answer

You may have a setting turned on that makes newly downloaded apps appear only in the App Library. You can add apps to your Home screen by swiping right until you see the App Library. Then, tap and hold the app and select "Add to Home Screen" in the pop up menu.

How can I have a new password?

Community Answer

To have a new password, you would have to click on Settings. Then you will be brought to General and there will be other ones you can choose under the general section. You will click on Password, type in your old password, and then it will ask you to input the new password, allowing you change it.

How long does it take to download free apps?

That depends on how much storage the app takes. For example, games that take more storage or relatively more megabites or gigabites etc. means it will take longer to download.

Question

From where should I download the App Store?

Aasim

Top Answerer

If your App Store is missing from the home screen, it is because Screen Time or Restrictions are enabled and disabling the download of apps. You will need to turn off Screen Time/Restrictions to get it back. If you removed App Store as the result of a jailbreak, the only way to restore it is to recover using iTunes recovery mode.

Question

What do I do if App Store apps want me to pay money?

Community Answer

Either pay or try to find a trial version of the app you want. Don't use third party sites, as these are against Apple's terms of service.

Question

Is Microsoft Word free in the App Store on iPhone 6s?

Community Answer

All Microsoft Office programs are free on the App Store, however to use them properly, so saving documents, you need an Office 365 subscription. Find the code on the card. If you don’t have a code you can buy one from the Microsoft website, or your local technology retailer, try Curry’s PC World in the UK and Walmart in the USA.
