If you can't find Messages on your home screen, you can find it in the App Library.


On your home screen, swipe as far left as you can until you find App Library. Find the Messages and

drag it back to your Home Screen. You can also search for Messages in Sportlight. When the icon

appears, just like in the App Library, you can hold and drag it back to your Home Screen.
