Messages app disappeared from iPhone

I used to have the Messages application and now it has disappeared and I cannot find it on the desktop with the other applications. I searched but did not find it? If I want to access the messages, I go to the appstore and enter from there, and this is a little tiring.. What is the solution for me to find the application and put it again on the desktop? Help me, please ()

Apps can be removed from the Home Screen without being deleted. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last Home Screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it to the Home Screen.

Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
