Hello, somehow I have accidentally deleted a whole page from my iPhone home-screen. It has all my important apps ie: banking, photos etc. They still appear in my Library however I can’t find the page nor will it allow me to‘add’ them back from the library.
Can anyone please help me?

if you tap/hold on a blank spot on your Home Screen so that all the apps wiggle..
Tap the dots near the bottom of the screen, right above the dock.
It should tile all of your Home Screens and allow you to check/uncheck them in order to hide or display your different Home Screen pages.
Is there one of them that's unchecked?
If you cannot find the missing Home Screen, you should be able to add apps back to your Home Screen manually from the App Library:
From your Home Screen, swipe left until you get to the App Library.
Swipe downward and you'll get an alphabetical list of your apps.
Locate the app in the list or type the app name into the search field
Once you've located the app, tap/hold, then drag and it'll pop out to your Home Screen

I think you are mixing up my suggestions a little..
Definitely sounds peculiar..
the screenshot you posted shows an outline around those dots, if you tap on that it doesn’t do/show anything?
what is your software version? Are you fully updated to 15.1.1?
you can check this in Settings > General > About and see what it says for Software Version. If you’re not up to date, may want to try updating.
you could also try a force restart to see if it helps clear up any issues

worst case maybe you have to reset your Home Screen layout, which would probably be a pain if you have lots of apps
you’d go to Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
Hello, thanks for the above however I have tried both the above. The first solution does not seam to tile any of my home screens and the second doesn’t allow me to add the apps from the library ie: they won’t ‘wiggle’
No, I understand what you are saying however it is not doing as it should. My home screens don’t show nor do the dots above the dock get any outline.
Your second suggestion is now working however I have 40+ apps and with each app I drag, it’s adding an extra Home Screen 😳
Oh goodness, this is very strange! Lol. Now I’ve got like 10 home screens!
ok so, the dots are dark. I just went and tried first option again. Nothing.
Software is definitely up to date.
Just forced restart. Re-opened same.
I guess I’ll just have to reset and keep my fingers crossed. Thank-you for all your suggestions
Ok, so I just reset homesceen which was great, thank-you! All my apps are on but just separated so I just now need to place them in folders and across my hopefully now only 3 screens! Lol
Thanks for your knowledge and helping me out… it’s very much appreciated 🙏🏼👍🏼😊
