Lost my Contacts icon on Home Page

You may have moved the icon to another Home Page - or perhaps into a folder. To switch Home Pages, simply swipe left or right on the screen.

If you can’t find the App icon, use the native Search function to find it...

Simply touch the Home Screen anywhere other than than the extreme edges of the screen (somewhere close to the centre of the screen is usually ideal) and swipe downwards; the Search dialogue will appear at the top of the screen. Type the name of the App that you are looking for; a list of results will appear - usually the first item is the App that you are searching for (its location will also be shown).

I hope you find this to be helpful in resolving your issue.

Try on your iPad:

Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout

If you have deleted it, see below:

Restore a built-in app that you deleted

1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to the App Store.
2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
3. Tap  to restore the app.
4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.

You're welcome.
