I Phone camera app not visible on screen.

I used the wiggly minus sign for camera because I couldn’t get it out of edit mode. How do I get it back so I can see it as an app on the Home Screen?

iPhone 8, iOS 14

Hello Olderthan,


We understand that the Camera app was removed from the Home screen, and we want to help.


Is your device running iOS 14 or later? If so, let's see if the Camera app is in the App Library.


If you go to the App Library on your device, are you able to locate the Camera application? The "Use the App Library to find your apps" part of this page explains how to find your apps: Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


If you see the Camera app in the App Library, press and hold it, then select the "Add to Home Screen" option.


If applications were deleted from the device, and you want to recover them, please check out the "Restore a built-in app that you deleted" part of this page as well: Delete built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 14 or iPadOS device or Apple Watch


Thanks!
