Reinstall an app to home screen

My Notes app disappeared on my old phone and I am trying to retrieve it for the 13 mini. If I try to download it again, it says to open, which it will do with all of my notes still in tact.


How do I get it back on my home page so I don't have to go to the app store to retrieve it.


It is not in any folders since I don't have use folders.


Thank you.

Hi Eileen,


Thanks for using Apple Support Communities. We understand that you're unable to access the Notes app from the Home Screen on your iPhone 13 mini. We're happy to look into this with you.


It's possible the Notes app is in the App Library. From the Home Screen swipe left until you see the App Library. If you see the Notes app tap and hold the app, then chose Add to Home Screen. Take a look at the following resource for more help with organizing apps on your iPhone: Use the App Library and Home Screen to organize your iPad apps


Let us know if this helps. Please include any other troubleshooting steps you may have tried.


Have a nice day!
