Apple Health App

I tried to delete my Apple Health app because it was double, and triple syncing with my Wyze watch and adding up hundreds, thousands, more steps than I was taking each day. I thought I could delete it and reinstall it. Apparently, one cannot delete the app, but now I can only access it by searching for it, and it doesn't tell me where it's located. I want to access the icon. Where did it go?


iPhone SE, iOS 14

As you have learned, the Health app cannot be deleted from your iPhone. It can only be removed from the home screen which you have done. It still exists in the App Library. The App Library is the last home screen when you continue to SWIPE LEFT until you reach it. Find it in the App Library and then Touch, Hold and Drag it out of there and on to your favorite home screen.
