App Store app

My App Store app appears to have disappeared & Siri tells me it isn’t installed. How can I reinstall it?

I have an iPhone XR.

iPhone 5, iOS 10

You can’t remove the App Store, but it might be hidden, let’s check:


Go to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions. Next, tap Allowed Apps. Make sure the switches next to Safari, iTunes Store, and Camera are turned on.


If that didn’t work, go back to Settings -> Screen Time -> Content & Privacy Restrictions. Then, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases. Make sure it says next to Install Apps, Deleting Apps, and In-app Purchases. If one of these options says Don’t Allow, tap on it, then tap Allow.


Thanks,
