The phone icon has disappeared from my iPhone SE.....I’ve seen the advice re Settings and factory reset....does that mean all numbers disappear and all information from other icons also, importantly, pictures over many years....do they disappear? 😱 Thank you.

Are you running iOS 14?

The Phone app cannot be deleted, but it could have been removed?


From your Home Screen, swipe left until you get to the App Library.

Swipe downward and you'll get an alphabetical list of your apps.

Locate the app in the list or type the app name into the search field

Once you've located the app, tap/hold until it raises/selects, then drag it and it'll pop out to your Home Screen
