They may not have deleted the app, but just removed it from your home screen. Let's first look in the App Library, by swiping from right to left on your home screen until you get the App Library. Look for the Mail app there. If you see it, hold your finger on it and move it back where you want it.


If they did actually delete the app fully, open the App Store app and search for the Mail App. If it was removed from your device, it will show a cloud symbol next to it. Tap the cloud symbol and it will redownload to your phone.


NEVER let someone else hold or use your iPhone.
