Hello inbal83, 


The Camera app is an essential part of your iPhone, and Apple Support Communities is a great place for help! 


From the description you provided it sounds as though the Camera app may have been removed from the Home Screen. The following article provides some great information on how to find applications in the App Library. 


Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone


Upon locating the Camera application via the App Library, press and hold on the app icon, then tap on Add to Home Screen. If the Add to Home Screen option doesn’t appear that can indicate that parental controls may be enabled. 


To disable the parental controls go in to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions. If enabled, tap the green toggle to disable that feature. 


Let us know how that goes!
