I installed it but cannot find it

This is the most common thing people hit, and it is not your mistake. Reword Me is an iMessage app. It runs inside a conversation in Messages. You will not find an icon for it on your home screen, because it does not create one.

Where it actually lives

1. Open the Messages app.
2. Open any conversation, or start a new one.
3. Tap the plus button to the left of the text field.
4. Tap More if you do not see it straight away.
5. Tap Reword Me.

On older iOS versions there is a row of small app icons under the text field instead of a plus button. Reword Me sits in that row. Swipe along it to find the icon.

If Reword Me is not in the list

It may be installed but switched off in Messages.

1. In a conversation, tap the plus button, then More.
2. Tap Edit.
3. Find Reword Me and turn it on.
4. Drag it to the top of the list so it is easy to reach next time.

Why there is no icon on your home screen

Reword Me is currently a Messages only app. It deliberately does not put an icon on your home screen. Nothing went wrong with your download and nothing is missing. It lives in the Messages app drawer described above, and that is the only place it appears.

We know this is confusing, because there is nothing to tap after you install it. We are looking at adding a normal app icon whose only job is to show you these steps. Until then, always start from Messages.

Next: rewrite your first message.
