Every week or so in the past I re-downloaded the Apple Music app for iPhone to check a function, and it booted WhatsApp out of the dock on the backside of the display screen.
“Bit bizarre”, I assumed. Nevertheless, I quickly dismissed the anomaly, considering it might be the default place for one in every of Apple’s inventory apps to take delight of place within the dock which seems on the backside of each house display screen.
Quick ahead seven days and evidently wasn’t a quirk of the working system in any case. It’s a bug, first noticed by an iOS developer named Kevin Archer. He stated it’ll solely exchange third-party apps within the dock. In his case, it kicked out Spotify. How cheeky!
A report from TechCrunch discovered Apple Music additionally changed first-party apps just like the digital camera, whereas one other developer discovered Safari had been booted out of the dock.
Is Apple doing this on objective? Unlikely. The corporate has been permitting customers to delete inventory apps for years now and it’s unlikely the corporate would knowingly exchange the apps customers had most popular to place within the dock.
9to5Mac took a glance into the iOS 15 code and noticed nothing to recommend the corporate was enjoying soiled. I’m unsure I agree with the positioning’s total conclusion although, in any other case why would the difficulty solely start surfacing now?
iOS 15 code analyzed by 9to5Mac signifies that there’s an inside iOS file with the default place of every app on the house display screen, which is used to arrange the apps after you restore your telephone. It seems that Apple merely by no means examined what would occur for those who reinstall a inventory app from the dock after deleting it.

It’s not clear whether or not the corporate will look to repair the state of affairs in a forthcoming software program replace. Have you ever skilled the Apple Music bug? Tell us which app it kicked out at @trustedreviews on Twitter.
