The Safari icon has dropped off my iPhone 12 Pro. My software is up to date. When I go to the App Store, I click on the “Open” link which works. But still the icon doesn’t appear on the phone. Can you tell me how to get it to show up? Thanks.

Troubleshooting a Disappeared App:
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

Getting Access to Safari:
See fi it is Disabled in Screen Time. If so, then you need to enable it.
B. Restart iPhone:
Go Here: Restart your iPhone - Apple Support
Well darn, neither of those worked. I didn’t have screen time turned on so that wasn’t causing the problem. I restarted, went to the App Store again, clicked on OPEN. I used the search bar to go to a familiar website. Worked just fine. But when I closed the App, it’s icon again disappeared. So weird…. Might you have any other ideas?

You are most welcome. Glad all is fixed.
