according to this support article, the Messages app is not one that you can delete
Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
It looks like you are running iOS 14. You probably just 'removed' the app.
If you swipe left on your home screen until you get to the App Library at the end.. pull down and you'll get a list of your apps listed alphabetically. Find Messages, tap/hold/drag the app back out to your Home Screen
