Disappearing apps question

[Mariah]

I recently downloaded Tetris to my iphone. It downloaded but when I click on it, it disappears and I'm returned to the usual apps display. Also, a game that I have played for several months - Bejeweled - just started to disappear in the middle of its download. If this happened on my PC, I would figure out I had a virus. I thought Apple products weren't
supposed to get them. Any idea what could be goiing on?

Are you jailbroken?

What's that?

What's that?

Jsilbreaking is a process that installs an application called "Cydia". Cydia is an app that is an alternative to the app store , except like 100x's better. Allows you to modify and customize literally anything on your phone. Anything you wish the iPhone did, that it does not....there is a 99% chance that Cydia has a tweak for that "wanted functionality" that a stock iPhone could never have.

Any way. Have you tried hard rebooting your device?

You do this by holding both home and sleep/wake button simultaneously until the iPhone reboots showing the Apple logo.

Have you tried that?
