You said you don't see if anywhere -- does that includ the App Library? Swipe left past the last home screen to get to the App Library. There is a search box at the top of that screen.


If it downloaded only to the App Library and you don't want that to happen in the future, see the following from Find your apps in App Library on iPhone - Apple Support


Change where new apps get downloaded

When you download new apps from the App Store, you can add them to the Home Screen and App Library, or to App Library only.

  1. Go to Settings  > Home Screen.
  2. Choose whether to add new apps to both your Home Screen and App Library, or to App Library only.
