Camera icon
My daughter accidentally deleted my camera icon/app on my phone, how can I get it back? If I swipe to the left, I can find the camera icon and use the app, but I cannot drag it back to my main screen.

I tried to do the same with my camera app, it is correct that you get options for Selfie, Record, etc. when you make a long press. But if I keep my fingers on the app, and drag to the side then it moves, and go back to Home Screen.
If that does not work then you can try this, go to:
Settings -> General -> Reset -> select Reset Home Screen Layout.
This will re-arrange all your app icons back to the factory settings so that they stand as when you turned on the phone the first time. This reset does not delete anything, not even the apps downloaded from the App Store. It just moves all apps into place, nothing else.
The camera app cannot be deleted.
The camera app is in the App Library where you also found it. Find the Camera icon, long press, and drag the app back to the home screen.
I am unable to drag the app back to the home screen. A square pops out and gives the options of take a selfie, record video, take portrait and record slo-mo. My daughter also did what ever she did to the netflix app and unable to find that also, or drag it back.
try to restart the phone. Most of the times that fix software problems like this.
Tried, didn't change a thing.
then you should call the apple support where they can assist you with actually controlling your phone via their computer or whatever they use. they can take a closer look what's wrong.
