Good afternoon me@nc,


Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!


It sounds like you are not seeing the Mail app on your iPhone 14 Plus, and we'd like to help.

Did you search for it on the Home screen and also in the App Library?


If you have Mail enabled in iCloud settings, you can see your email messages at www.iCloud.com.


Search from the iPhone Home Screen or Lock Screen - Apple Support


Find your apps in App Library on iPhone - Apple Support


If you haven't already, update your iPhone to iOS 16.4.1 to update the native apps on your iPhone.


You can also redownload apps following the instructions below:

Let us know if you still need help after reviewing these resources.


Take care.

Troubleshooting Lost Home Screen Apps:

Two methods...

A. Drag it Back:

Swipe your finger in from the right. Then, drag it back over.


No Success?...

B. Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If a widget or app has gone mossing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and organize apps on iPhone - Apple Support

You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back
