[–] DiscoversOther9152@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

It’s either done by using shortcut app or check that is there any unknown app installed by your younger

Uninstall and then the reinstall all of the apps or just reset your phone.

Thanks everyone for your help, sorted it now. Been bugging us all how she did it, still not entirely sure, she is only 4. Turns out they were short cuts for apps, there were about 4 screens of them so not sure how she made so many.

Remove the app that’s installed them over the top of the original apps pics.

May be a profile installed. Settings > general > vpn and device management.

If you swap contacts and Roblox you can get one of those rainbow things to mix with podcasts and clear most of the board.

Posting this to Reddit rather than watching a 2 minute YouTube tutorial is interesting

I suggest looking in the shortcuts app. Delete them all. The only way I know how to do this is by using the shortcuts app and changing the app icon.

This may be off topic, but a few years ago, my sister got into a little bit of a war that I instigated. I changed her Netflix display picture into a monkey, and she retaliated by changing mine to another animal. This went on and on for a week and I was winning teasing her.

Then I immediately had to give up. She had done the prank equivalent of a war crime and had changed my language settings to Yiddish. I messaged her that I surrender and had to suffer some hard work to change the settings back.

Put the icons in wiggle mode, click the dots for the pages at the bottom and see if there’s an extra page that’s invisible with the real apps on it. You can hid Home Screen pages, and change the way icons look.

Those are Shortcuts, as on the iPhone you can’t change icons for apps outside of what those apps themselves allow. Remove them and pin the regular apps.

Kids under 13 shouldn’t have smartphones. 🤯 don’t want to parent? Give your kids a $1000 scrolling device to keep them satisfied.

Wait but some people do this to make their phone’s “aesthetic” that apps will still work…

Swap Contacts and Roblox to get a combo

[–] HentaiSenpai230797@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I more wonder how to do this...

[–] spnsloths@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Shortcuts - it takes so much time though lol

[–] TorontoPolarBear@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

I see the problem: The battery is set to low-power mode even though it's nearly full.

[–] morfeus1106@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

it’s just widgets. you can delete them all and just put back the normal icons/apps from the app library

[–] moveitall1000@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

How did she even do this?

[–] catgirlishere@alien.top 1 points 2 years ago

Tbh your phone is awesome. Why change it back?
