You have not disclosed which iPhone you are using. You have not disclosed which iOS version you are using. I will therefore provide a general resolution for the issue that you are facing (Camera app does not appear on the home screen).

Open Settings ➔ General ➔ Reset ➔ Reset Home Screen Layout. This action will return the Camera app to your home screen and rearrange the apps to their default positions.

On your iPhone

Open Settings ➔ Phone ➔ Calls on other devices : Ensure that this is set to ON and your Mac is listed below that. Find the listed Mac and ensure that the switch for the Mac is set to ON.


On your Mac

Open FaceTime ➔ Preferences ➔ You can be reached for FaceTime at : Ensure that your Phone number is checked. Calls from iPhone is checked.
