Accidentally deleted the App Store from iPhone, how do I recover it

You are saying the App Store app cannot be deleted, but it actually can. I never deleted it, but it is gone. It is gone from my iphone, it is not hidden. When I search for it nothing comes up and not only that, when I go to the app store website and it says to open it in the app from the website, nothing happens. I have reset the phone, still no luck. These are work cells and I have several co-workers who are having the same issue. My personal iphone shows that when you "edit" your home screen, that delete is an option with this icon. Some of the default icons (apps themselves) do not give this option. None of this matters really, all I need to know is how to get it back, since that is the only way to get other applications loaded on these phones.

Here is the screenshot when you attempt to delete the App Store:

To further resolve your issue provide these screenshots:

• Swipe all the way to the left to the App Library and type in "App Store" in the search field:

• And at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases:

Can I get ideas for how to get my App Store back??? Thanks if you can help me out

You may want to post a new question or at least explain if you have already tried the steps to resolve the problems. Read through the posts and provide the screenshots requested and your problem will be solved. There have been many solutions already provided in these 5 pages and simply asking the question again about getting the App Store back will not be enough.

Mac Jim,

I seriously appreciate how helpful and patient you are being with everyone and I’m not trying to be difficult. But as a low level comp. tech. I did all your steps and they are not working but just to let you see what I’m experiencing, I’ll do screen shots as well.

My only thought is our organization (they are work phones) has blocked our access. Which after almost 7 plus years of us on iPhones with no issues just seemed odd to have this issue.

There are 2 reasons why you are not seeing the App Store and the information has already been provided. Review the 6 pages here to find the answer and ignore the useless comments from people claiming they still do not have it. It is clear that their parents have restrictions on their device not allowing access if it is not in your App Library.
