did you flashed the phone with either xperifirm or flashtool?

Hi @Rumrourke10,

Welcome to the community. I am sorry to hear about this. Slightly_frowning_Face

Do you know where your phone is from? I know this was removed for the US versions. I am not sure about other regions though.

@Rumrourke10,

That's strange... So it was there after the update but has just recently disappeared? 


Could you please test the phone in safe mode and see if it's the same?

Think I'll take it into the store and get them to look at it as it's only a few months old.

@Rumrourke10,

before you take it in to the store I recommend you try a software repair using Xperia Companion.
