Apps are not showing up after update?

So I didn't delete the apps on my iPhone 4s before I updated the software on it. The apps are on the phone but I can only access them through the app store by clicking "open" on them. They aren't on the screen like they were before. I called the company and they said, after talking to me, that everyone is downloading the software and installing it and said just to be patient and to keep trying to redownload the apps and get them on the screen.

Added (1). I can't delete them.

If you have not already, try uninstalling and manually reinstalling all your apps (or at least the essentials for now) this should greatly improve your predicament.

  • Will discontinued apps be avaliable on my iPhone after a software update? Hi, I'm looking to update my iPhone 4 with iOS 6.0 to iOS 7.1. I have a few apps installed from the apps store that are no longer avaliable to buy, such as the original Flappy Bird. I'm concerned that these apps will not be avaliable after I update. I plan on backing up my phone first, but will the backup save these apps from being gone forever? Is there a way to prevent these apps from being deleted other than backing up my phone? Or will these apps simply be no longer avaliable?

I just recently got a new iPhone and I restored my old iPhone onto the new one and now every time I plug in my new iPhone to my computer old apps that I have deleted (multiple times even today) keep showing up and I have to delete them over again.
