I did a restore from my X to my X max with the latest backup. I have over 150 app and now as its restoring it shows cloud symbols near most of my icons. Sometimes if i tap the icon it will start loading the app. I never turned on or used the "offload unused apps" etc. Do I just need to let it restore?
 
Thats not correct It happened to most of my app including facebook, google maps etc.

Oh, ok. I thought this was after it had downloaded everything else. I know on mine the few apps that cloud icon were removed. Lucky I has the backups for some.
 
That’s why we keep ipa package back in 2016!
Seriously though, I think iPhone is just stuck at restoring. Maybe give it a few more hours or put it overnight and see how it goes. Home internet is usually not good enough to ensure a reliable iCloud restore.
 
One of my apps did that. The developer removed it from the store for some reason. I really liked it too 🙁
