I accidentally removed app from Home Screen. How do I get it back?

What you can also do is go to your App Library And find the app you want to delete

Awesome…after some head scratching like others. Folks, make sure you…

Swipe LEFT / SCROLL right

Same happened to me with FB app.

• If I go to the App Store I don't have the option to download it.
• From the App Library the only option I have is to open the app. If I tap/hold the only option is to share it, I can't drag it or do anything else.

This has become a huge problem for me. I’m assuming it’s happening randomly when I’m holding the phone in my hand while doing something else. I must be activating the bouncy box somehow & next thing you know, “poof”, it’s just gone. I’m not even aware of it until who knows how long after. I have deleted quite a few from my Home Screen, some I don’t even know what they are. The worst one to delete is the settings app because I can not access it from my App Library at all. I had to ask Siri to open it for me. I recently deleted my clock, though & tried that. Siri couldn’t find it at all. This is very frustrating & I have never had this problem with any of my previous iPhones. You would think if you spend $1500 on a stupid phone that this wouldn’t happen.

The same thing happened to me when I accidentally removed Pinterest. I have already tried to download it back but I can only open it. I would really appreciate it if someone could tell me what to do to get it back. Thank you sincerely!

I mistaken removed the app when I want to install it back I go to App Store when I search for app in there it shows that it’s already installed in IPhone so how can I bring that app to Home Screen thanks alot

This happened to me too. What you have to do is go into the app store, find the app you’re trying to delete in recently updated (there might be another place but recently updated was the only place that gave me the option to delete and not just hide it), and slide it to the left so the delete option comes up. Hit that, hit delete, and the app should be removed from your phone.

I accident did something to my Icon for my Clock that came with my phone. It’s not on my home screen. I just saw tonight a group of different boxes that had all of my different apps grouped together and I found my clock that I was looking for.

i looked in the App Store however don’t see anything that matches t to the clock that I am looking for.

My first question is how can I bring back the screen that has all of my apps grouped together again.

My second question is how can I get the clock icon back onto my Home Screen.

Thank you in advance for your assistance with this mattter.

I accidentally did the same remove from Home Screen myself -App Library will open my missing -“GRUBHUB” app but it won’t stay on Home Screen-every time I need it I can only bring it out to the Home Screen temporarily to use it! I thought with a working laptop I could go to ITunes but I’ve used my iphone as my computer for last 8-9 years or more -with 512Gb on my iphone -it’s as big as anything I owned as a laptop previously -still think there should be a way-my old iphone ( new phone only a day old) still has GRUBHUB app but no phone service -but battery is so dead even constant USB Cord charging can’t keeper battery charged enough-it still dies when plugged in any using it ! If you figure it out let us know how to recover apps we only removed from Home Screen!

Thanks, well described, that worked for me — Settings to General to Tab reset. My old phone doesn’t have App Library anywhere, not swiping all the way either way. And App Store

allowed Open but not download. So you saved the day!

I tried the going to the App Store and clicking on the app. The only options that come up are “Share” “See Ratings and Reviews” and “Write a Review “. Additionally it will not allow me to drag it back to the Home Screen. I am using an iPhone 7 if that helps.

Hi every time I hold my iPhone 8’s , all apps and saved webpages or internet stuff I save to Home Screen , keeps shaking the apps and sometimes I accidentally delete app

how can I lock it to stop it happening constantly I usually stop it with my button and they all stop shaking

is there a feature or instructions to stop the apps from “shaking right to left lol”

My phone goes everywhere with me as I’m a paitent that receives a lot of calls ,so I’m holding phone most of the time .

it’s annoying me as I don’t know what I’ve deleted like apps or important links or pages then I I have to use the button at the bottom of the screen to stop apps shaking

please could you help Thank you

I don’t know what app or when I save something like a link on my home-screen

I can’t remember what link or Icon I have deleted

I am asking can you find that deleted Home Screen link that I saved or is it only apps you can rescue from the library on your IPhone

I have medical information links that I’ve found that helps my bone cancer pain

I save them to show my Oncologist

Otherwise I wouldn’t care if I deleted a link that isn’t important

Sorry my question is can you find saved links that I have accidentally deleted on your Home Screen on your IPhone ?

Like for instance in the attached photo as an example for my question

Hello T.C Level 6

I have a IPhone 8s

If you delete saved links on your Home Screen by accident is there a way of getting them back I have saved links that have been there for a few years I save them to show Oncologists

I know I can hear everyone say print the link or save it in your notes

I have cancer and I’m on pain killers so I forget to to my checklists sometimes and I can’t afford a printer as ink is too dear

So anyway is it possible to find a link you have deleted from home screen (and you can’t remember where you got link from lol)

The photo below shows when all the apps or links show the minus symbols and they shake

This happens because I hold my iPhone as I am at a lot of appointments with health professionals and naturapath etc

I thought you can lock your screen to prevent this and use a passcode to get back into Home Screen each time ,which I don’t mind doing

I miss that feature

I found a menu saying I could remove my Wells Fargo app from the Home Screen, and I tapped to remove it.

Now tho I can find the app in the App Store, the only option is ‘open’. There is no ‘GET’ option
