Having just updated an iPhone 4s to OS 8.4, the Contacts icon has disappeared. The only way of going into Contacts now is via the Phone icon. Anybody else found this or has Fate singled me out once more?

Hi Michael,

Fate has singled you out once again, you should have updated straight away, your Contact icon would then have remained for your use.

I believe it must have got fed up waiting and disappeared into the beyond.

On a lighter note I still have my "Contacts icon" after updating to 8.4

Yours aye,

Drew

Trevor has the answer. I've lost count of how many people have "lost" their Contacts that way!

Thank you all! Why do Apple do this to us?

You could liberate Contacts from its iOS 8 Folder of Shyness thus:
1. Click on the Home button to steady any wobbling.
2. Click to select the Extras folder.
3. Click and dwell on the Contacts icon to start it wobbling.
3. Drag it into the wallpaper area surrounding the Extras folder.
4. Click the Home button to steady everything again.
4. Rearrange your icons to suit.

(You can add to the FoS (Extras) any app. icon you seldom if ever use.)
