I am on a 6th gen iPad Pro and calculator is gone from the swipe down menu after updating.
I go go to settings>control center>customize and calculator is not an option to add to the control center!
Getting rid of it on the swipe menu was a horrible design decision but not allowing it to be added back is beyond me!
iPad, iOS 12
Unlike an iPhone, a Calculator App has never been a native component of iOS/iPadOS for iPad. As such, it hasn’t disappeared during an update - it was never present.
If you need a Calculator App for iPad, there are many third-party Apps in the Apple App Store - some free, some paid. Here is an example of one of the better free options:

Unfortunately, you can’t add non-native features to the Control Centre. The feature that you seek is currently exclusive to the iPhone.
Apple invite constructive feedback and feature requests via their product feedback pages:
I have the free calculator app. The point is for it to be easily accessible on the control center swipe down and being able to add it.
Apple once again limiting customization and creating user issues with design decisions that are completely nonsene.
Why is the calculator not an option to add to control center in settings?
