One of my apps disappeared from my iPhone home screen. When I searched for the app it appeared in the search; however, when I click on the app it opens the app but I still cannot find it on my home screen. I do not want to have to "search" for it each time I want to use the app. How do I find where the app is on my iPhone
iPad, iPadOS 14
What iOS version do you have on your iPhone? iOS 14?
If so, you may have 'removed' the app from your home screen. In which case you would still be able to find the app by searching and still be able to open the app.. and it would not exist on your home screen.
If you swipe left continually on your home screen until you get to the App Library. Pull down. Locate the app in the alphabetical list. Tap/hold/drag the app back onto your main screen. Even if the app is really tucked away in a folder somewhere, doing this will pull it out from wherever it was hiding and replace it with the new one that you dragged out from the App Library.

Fantastic reply; I was able to find the app and restore it to one of my home screens. I then was able to hold down and drag it back into the desired folder. Thank you very much for helping me with this dilemma.
Do you have folders? Have you checked inside the folders? Have you looked on additional Home Screen pages?
Yes, I have looked in all group folders and scrolled through my multiple screen locations as well. I have been unsuccessful in finding the missing app's location
No problem, glad I was able to help!
