How to download the Photos app again?

I have problem with my iCloud and my images there, so I tried all kinds of things to try to fix it, one thing I did (witch maybe was stupid) was to delete the Photos app (because I thought if I download it again it might work again), but I con't find it in the App Store. Why? What do I do now?


I'm not so good at technology, the images in iCloud stoped working after I had to to a software update. Why is that? What shall I do?

Photos is not available at the AppStore, because it is installed as a part of the system.

You may just have removed Photos.app from the Home Screen.

Try the following:

  • Go to the last page of the Home Screen, the Application Library. Are you seeing Photos there? It should appear in the box "Creativity".


The Photos.app is a built-in app that cannot be deleted, just removed:
