It’s the RealityMeter app above. I had transferred everything from my old phone to my new iPhone 15. When I had done so it had copied the VPN tracker to this phone but this time it had two separate RealityMeter apps on my Home Screen. I was able to delete one app after having removed everything related to it in my settings, but this other one won’t go away. Help?
Can you check Settings-General-VPN and device management to see any shady profiles installed?
Yeah VPNs are tricky in this instance… for future reference, uninstall VPNs prior to data transfers. Should be pretty simple… uninstall it from the original phone, perform a network reset on the new phone and reboot both… should be gone, but it could take Some time depending on the refresh rate… once you confirmed it’s gone, you’ll be able to re download it and log back in…
Good luck!
Try turning it off for a minute. Seems simple but it’s worked for me before.
I have this same issue. Can someone please do a step-by-step on how to get rid of this thing?
How did you get rid of it? I’m having the same problem.
I am having this same issue as well! I spent an hour with Apple Support and they aren’t sure how to get the app off my iPhone. Could someone please help?

Literally exact same thing happened to me. I got a new phone, 2 app icons, deleted one, now one won’t let me delete it. Wtf
I’m dealing with the same issue, has anyone had any luck getting rid of the app from your screen? Will it disappear on its own with time?
Thank you so much I got the app off but now I need to fix my safari it’s saying the same thing, I’m going to try to restart my phone.
EDIT: IT WORKED THANK THE LORD!!! TRY IT!!
Same here. Hard shutdown, wait at least 30 seconds for the RAM to clear, reboot.
I had an entire folder duplicated that I could delete. The above solution worked.
Seems to be an iOS 17.2 bug.
Just turning my phone off? This has been on my phone since November and in that time I’ve hard reset my phone multiple times and it’s still not gone away.
Sorry to hear this!!! I got it off my phone in the same day I believe so I don’t know if it was time, (before it could do anything) please check my comment and see if it can help you. Anything that I can think of other than that is a factory reset (I know you probably don’t want that) or continue checking settings, files and applications that they could have installed on your device.
same exact problem, got two duplicate apps, any luck getting rid of it?
It still hasn’t disappeared… I just moved the icon to a random folder in my phone so I don’t have to look at it lol
Have you tried doing what this person said? “Can you check Settings-General-VPN and device management to see any shady profiles installed?“
that got the app off my phone and now I just neeed to fix the safari so I’m restarting my phone.
EDIT: IT WORKED THANK THE LORD!!! TRY IT!!
How did you get it off?? I have the same issue
Thanks! I will give it a try on Saturday. I am wondering if there is a way to do a iPhone to iPhone transfer without downloading apps? I got a new iPhone 16 Pro Max and want to transfer all my data from my old iPhone 13 Pro Max.
