No one here wants anything of you. These are just user -to-user forums...

Troubleshooting Mssing Apps:

A. Different Versions:

So, are these Third-Party apps? If so, you may have difference versions of it installed.

B. Use Drag & Drop on the Home Screen:

Tap on the Home Screen. Then, hold your finger on the far-right edge of the screen. Next, swipe your finger in from the right. Next Drag & Drop the apps back over.

B. Reset the Home Screen Layout:

You may need to reset the Home Screen Layout...

Go Here: Move and Organize Apps on iPhone - Apple Support

You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there. So, write down what is currently on the Home Screen.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

Go to: Settings
Tap: General
Tap: Reset
Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
Then... Add the apps back
