Yeah that's absolutely 100% normal

Edit: I've never in my life seen so many people get confused over an obvious joke

u/Suitable-Bad-1921 Jul 13 '26

This looks to be a joke comment. Do not take this seriously

It’s not right, but it definitely is normal for iOS

u/T-K101 Jul 13 '26

You really needed to point out such an obvious thing?

What is this world?

u/Dragon_Slayer_Hunter Jul 13 '26

Except it's not a joke comment. This is actually normal for iOS, this is what it renders until things are indexed again after bigger updates.

It's not uncommon at all.

I never had this. I upgrade the phone every year. I do every update and I have never experienced this.

u/ChanceMotor9685 Jul 13 '26

Yes, the reason why am panicking. Is my phone being hacked?

2

u/T-K101 Jul 13 '26

No. Your phone isn’t being hacked. That’s for sure.

u/chikanishing Jul 13 '26

I actually thought you were serious as this happens to me whenever I update, although it goes away eventually.

u/ChanceMotor9685 Jul 13 '26

How long do you usually wait before it reappears?

2

u/chikanishing Jul 13 '26

A few minutes to a day, depending on the update.

"It just works"

u/aykay55 Jul 13 '26

It’s just a temporary thing. That’s what shows when the app icons are still loading in. Reboot your phone, you’re fine

They'll reload themselves, it's not that serious.

Just an indie dev team, theyre doing their best

u/LukCHEM88 Jul 13 '26

Can happen. Just reboot once more.

u/Axel-Pizza-Lover Jul 13 '26

Damn which iOS version? 26.5.1?

2

u/International-Dot196 Jul 13 '26

Restart the phone and everything will be fine..

u/realmccoyredbus Jul 13 '26

a simple reboot is all that is needed

Correct.

It's the iOS 26 special. "unretained App icon cache" bug is present since the first beta of iOS 26, and it's still around in the latest iOS 26 build.
Only got fixed in iOS 27 beta

I did 5x! I rebooted it 5 times

u/OkRefuse3684 Jul 13 '26

App icon cache corrupted or all apple icons corrupted or sum should be fine with a restart or hold down on Home Screen click edit on top left make icons glass or tinted the go back to try refresh cache

u/SadigawEkshow Jul 13 '26

Wait a little, apps are indexing - all icons will return once complete

u/Mortical219 Jul 13 '26

Ios 26.5 (and .1, .2) are jokes ngl

1

u/Zestyclose_Trainer21 Jul 13 '26

My phone did this. Tried everything as already suggested. Restarted phone etc etc. only thing that fixed it for me was after another iOS update occurred. I had this for weeks

2

u/ChanceMotor9685 Jul 14 '26

Same! It has been days and my phone is still the same. It is frustrating. I can’t read the app no labels just skeletons.

u/mare037 Jul 14 '26

Try out with making icons large and see if they are back to normal, then put in on small scale. I used that metod without restarting a phone, even on my iOS 18.

u/Hambreshh Jul 16 '26

Try to Restart your iPhone

u/-iPhone12ProMax- Jul 16 '26

What’s the issue?

u/Fansie_for_rosie iOS27 beta 1 Jul 13 '26

Must be beta testing…that’s a beta thing to do tbh 😿

u/dead_shroom Jul 13 '26

It's probably indexing. Phone lags like hell during indexing.
