Lost my app for "Compass"
I accidentally deleted the Apple app for Compass on my iPhone X. How do I get it back? I went to the app store but while I could "open" it, there was no place to click to save it.
iPhone XS, iOS 16

Hi Nodrog1952,

Re: "I accidentally deleted the Apple app for Compass on my iPhone X.

You might want to search the iPhone App Library in case it was just the app icon that was accidentally deleted from the Home Screen.
See: Organize the Home Screen and App Library on your iPhone - Apple Support
If you find the Compass app in the Library, you can add the icon back to the Home Screen. Organize your apps in folders on iPhone - Apple Support tells how

Else you could try RE-downloading the Compass app:
Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
Eg: Above article says:
"Restore a built-in app that you deleted
All the best :-)

Hi brbo, thanks for the helpful suggestions to recover the Compass app. The Compass icon was in the iPhone app Library. It’s now back on my Home Screen. You're very helpful. Thanks!
Thank you, Nodrog1952 :-) Grateful for your reply, and happy you solved the issue!
Cheers :-)
