Files Icon

On my iPhone 14 the Files icon has disappeared from Home Screen (I certainly did not delete it). When following instructions to reinstall it doesn't happen - any ideas what else I can try.

iPhone 14, iOS 16

If you're sure you didn't accidentally move that icon to a different screen page or into a folder, open App Library (generally File icon is into Productivity group) then drag it to your Home screen.

Hi!

Your problem has many solutions.

First of all, you can try to search for the File app by dragging down your finger on your Home Screen and search in the "File" search box. If you find the app then you can open it from there. To make it reappear on the Home screen, you have to scroll to the App Library on the Home screen (right), search for the File app, long press the icon and press the "Add to Home" button.


I hope I helped you!
