Hello ChefRoby,


It appears from your post that you are not able to locate the Messages icon on your iPhone.


Since Messages is part of iOS, it actually can not be erased from the device. Most likely the app has moved to the App Library.


Swipe left on the iPhone screens and you will eventually come to the App Library. If you tap in the search field at the top, the apps are listed alphabetically. Once you locate Messages, you can move it back to where you would like it. More help on the App Library is available here: Find your apps in the App Library on iPhone - Apple Support


Have a great day.
