how to restore deleted fitness app icon to iPhone

I managed to delete the fitness app icon, I can still get to the app from the library, how can I restore the app icon so that I can get to the app from the "main" screen?

iPhone SE, iOS 14

The App Library is found by swiping left all the way past your last Home Screen. In there you will see the Fitness icon. Touch and hold that icon until it wiggles and gives you the option to add to your Home Screen. (It is not from the App Store). Hope this helps, I had the same frustrating problem.

The fitness app is not installed on my iPhone 12, upgraded to 14.5.1.


I can’t download from the App Store as it tells me my phone isn’t compatible with certain features, or something.


I’m in the UK, quite new to iPhone and quite unimpressed with how much stuff doesn’t work so far


I wanted to try Apple fitness but it looks like I can’t

I had the same issue as many others mentioned about their phones. My Apple Watch would no longer sync the data from the Fitness App to my iPhone 11, so I deleted the app, but then couldn't reinstall it. As you suggested, I went to the App Library and restored the app.


However, I still cannot get the Fitness App on my Apple Watch to sync to my iPhone 11 at all! It does show a calendar. But that does no good because it shows no data at all - on any day! Is there a way I can get the activity from the watch to sync to my iPhone?
