Settings App

I accidentally added the largest widget for the photos app. When I did this, 6-9 apps were no longer available in the App Library or the Home Screen. To get them back, I had to got to the App Store to open them, and then they

would appear in the App Library. It worked for all the apps until I went to Settings. It did not appear anywhere in the App Store. Now what should I do?

The Settings app cannot be deleted since it is a part of 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 Settings app. Once found, then you can DRAG the app out of there and place it on your favorite spot of the Home Screen.
