I accidentally deleted my desktop shortcut on my iPhone 13 mini and now I keep having to go into the App Store to launch it. Can someone please help me either get it back or replace it?

Thank you

Hi Huntgrem,


Thanks for posting in Apple Support Communities.


It sounds like you deleted a shortcut from your Home Screen and you're going to the App Store to launch software.


If you deleted an app's icon from the Home Screen, simply download it back from the App Store. If the app is downloaded, but you do not see on Home Screen, add it back from the App Library.


To access the App Library, swipe left until you see the App Library. You can either search using the Search bar or tap and drag the desired app from the App Library to the Home Screen.

If this was a shortcut you created, you will need to create ti again and add to Home Screen.
