Mail icon disappeared from iPhone

My mail icon on my iPhone disappeared. I found an answer in old Apple support that said the mail icon is one that cannot be deleted. It said to swipe left and the icon would be there and you could slide it to your home screen. My mail icon does not appear on the screen when I swipe left. Any ideas?


iPhone 13 Pro Max, iOS 16

Swipe right to the last screen where app library is at, find the mail icon and then hold down and drag it to the screen you want it on.
