it looks like you came here from a support article about redownloading your apps.. is that not working? Or do they show as Open?

If they show as Open, then they are still on your iPhone, likely just 'removed' to the App Library

To move an app back to your Home Screen..

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
