How do I get the use of the App Store back? I don’t have the app on my phone and find it exstreamly hard to get anything done.
iPhone 11, iOS 16
The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but it can be removed from the home screen. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.
Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
Another reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases, choose a setting and set to Allow. Also see the following Apple Support article for more information: Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support

My “Apple Store” icon and information that it uses to provide the apps that I need are missing. Also my “Apps” icon is missing. What do I do to get them back?
