Hey there JupiterLight, 


It sounds like you'll want to take a look at Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch,


Specifically:

  1. "Go to Settings and tap Siri & Search.
  2. Scroll down and select an app.
  3. Then select Show App in Search, Show Content in Search, Show on Home Screen, Suggest App, or Suggest Notifications."


If you have ensured everything is set up correctly, according the guide linked above, you'll want to contact Apple Support for help.


Have a good one!

Finding an App On an iPhone:

Swipe-in from the Right: If not on any Home Screen, then see if you can find them in the Control Center. So, swipe your finger in from the right of the screen. Then, type the name of an app using the search bar location at the top of the screen. Drag it to the Home Screen, if desired.
