Viewing Hidden app icons

As I was setting up the iPhone, I (somehow) hid the App Store and somehow also garage band disappeared, also mail. How can I undo that so that those reappear?

iPhone SE (Gen 3)

Try this: Use App Library search the apps you are looking for, see this Apple article:

If you have find the app, tap & hold on the app, then drag to the Home screen & drop it.

Nope, I meant swipe all the way right—as in my finger moving to the right several times and screens flying away until I get to a place where I can’t swipe anymore. I type in that search box.


As for the most recent idea, that might work great if the App Store were present… it isn’t visible.


I tried erasing the phone and setting it up manually as a new phone. Still didn’t work.

Ok. I did try swiping the other way, and I see you were right, there is an “app search”, whereas swiping right is just a “search”. Neither works so you are suggesting I go to an Apple store, it seems. I feel like people are trying to waste my life, why would that be true? Wouldn’t it be great if we treated each other with respect and did our best the first time to get it right, try to be honest, etc?

This is a user-to-user volunteer forum. People do try to do their best. However, they can't see what you see and can only rely on what you report.
