Hey there, kathleenfromwhitehall!
Thanks for reaching out in Apple Support Communities! If we understand correctly, you deleted the Message app on your iPhone and are unable to redownload it. We'd be happy to lend a hand so you can get back to using Messages again!
The Message app is a built-in app that cannot be deleted. Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
It's possible you might have removed the app from your screen and it is now located in the App Library. Try using the Search feature on your iPhone to search for the app: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
If you're able to locate the app, try moving it back to your Home Screen. The following link will show you how: Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone - Apple Support
Feel free to post an update if you need continued support.
Take care!
