Whenever I swipe to go to my home screen, my icons will not show up, but the name text would. And for a split second, my icons will then appear. Anyone experience this? It's been present in the official release and I was hoping 26.0.1 would address this.
Got a tip for us?

iOS 26.0.1 - Home Icon Glitch?

Try a reboot of the phone.
Unfortunately, icon glitches like this have existed since 18.0b1 and have not seem to be squashed. They go away for a bit, but then pop up again when you least expect them. Just part of Springboard's tech debt and unlikely to get sorted out anytime soon.

Do you have always on display enabled?
I noticed this occurring with AOD turned on, if I turn it off (which I usually leave it off since I have an Apple Watch anyways), it does not present this graphical glitch when unlocking or going to the home screen.
I actually did a fresh wipe of my phone without using iCloud backup, but alas, it still is present. I guess we would have to just wait for another batch of iOS 26 update to address this
Interesting, yes I do. Let me turn that off and I will report if I do still see it
This happened sometimes on the first version, now on 26.0.1 it happens much more often.
Yes, when AOD is on it happens, with AOD off I can't replicate the bug.
