  • Check the App Library.

Find your apps in App Library on iPhone - Apple Support

  • Allow Installing Apps at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restriction > iTunes & App Store Purchases > Installing Apps. If that does not work, then try turning off Content & Privacy Restrictions completely at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restriction > Content & Privacy Restrictions.
  • If your device is managed by MDM software used in Work or School environments, then the IT Administrator would need to allow it.
