Doug noticed awhile ago (which I’m sure most of you have as well) that when you update an application in the App Store, it completely deletes the application’s icon off your iPhone and then re-adds it in the first available spot on your iPhone’s SpringBoard (instead of leaving the application where you had it on your SpringBoard). This can be slightly annoying if you have all your apps organized exactly how you would like them.

Recently, we have also heard that some people are losing their previously saved games, scores and log-in information when they update an application. I have not found this to be true.

All the apps that I have updated have kept my previous information.

Let us know in the comments if you have experienced data being erased when updating an application.
