The Phone app cannot be deleted since it is a part of the iOS. It is probably accidentally removed from the Home Screen, however, still exists in the App Library. The App Library is the last Home Screen on your iPhone when you continue to SWIPE LEFT until you reach it. Once you are in the App Library, then you can search and find the Phone app. Once found, then you can DRAG the app out of there and place it on your favorite spot of the Home Screen.

I must say I’ve read this sentence several times and chuckled each time. Your use of “just” in the same sentence as “a few years ago” is very amusing. It’s like your son hands you the iPhone, you snap your fingers, and lo and behold a few years have gone by and here we are.
