You are confusing hiding purchases in the App Store with taking apps off the Home Screen

Locate the app in Store App Library which is past the last home screen. Swipe the home screens left til you get to the App Library

Locate the app. Tap and hold the icon til you can move it into a home screen

i can search the app up on my phone and i can still use it, but i don’t physically have it on my home screen, i’m trying to get it physically back on my home screen. apple said to go to hidden apps purchases and redownload it. there is supposed to be a cloud next to the app to re download it, but it says open next to it. i wanted the app physically back on my homescreen, but i can’t seem to get it back on
