Hello dlbaity,
Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities. We understand that you would like to get a widget back that was removed from your iPhone.
You can add this widget back to your Home Screen using the steps from Use widgets on your iPhone and iPod touch.
Have a great day!
dlbaity,
Check to see if these apps appear in your App Library. If so, you can move them to your Home Screen from there. Have a look at Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone as a reference.
If they do not appear there or you need more help, it may be best in this case to contact Apple Support for further assistance. You can reach out from Get Support or using the direct phone number for your region from Contact Apple for support and service.
Cheers!

dlbaity,
Are you looking for a particular widget or do you not see any widgets available? If you are looking for a particular widget, is this a third-party app or native app?
If this is a third-party app, try the steps from If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open as there may be an issue with the app itself.
Best wishes.
dlbaity,
So, the apps themselves no longer appear on your iPhone. Is that right? Do these apps come up when you use search on your iPhone? Check out Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch if needed.
Check the App Library as well since this folder or apps may have been moved there but not deleted from your iPhone. For guidance, use Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone.
If not found using search or in the App Library, check the App Store. You may be able to download these apps again if still available.
Take care.
The apps appear in the App Store and show Open when I search for them. The widgets are just gone as well as the ability to edit home screen, share and delete the apps
I tried that already. The widgets no longer appear. Do I need th delete and reinstall?
The widgets are photo apps I grouped in a single folder. The whole folder was deleted by accident. I went to try to re-add them they weren’t available.
I also can’t reinstall the apps
