App Store problem

AppStore app has disappeared somehow from my iPhone XR. It makes me impossible to install or update any application. Is there a way it could be fixed?

iPhone XR, iOS 13

The App Store cannot be deleted. While it can be restricted, you would have to restrict it. It may be possible it has just moved to another screen or folder. Try searching for it by swiping down from the middle of the home screen and then search for App Store. You should see the icon in the results, and you should also see the name of the folder if it is in one.
