How can I reinstall the App Store app on my iPhone?

I have managed to delete my app store app and I'm not sure how to get it back on my phone. Could you help me with that.

The App Store is one of the apps you cannot delete. So, it's still on your phone.


The first thing to do is check Settings>Screen Time>Content & Privacy Restictions>iTunes & App Store Purchases>Store Purchases & Redownloads. If those items are set to "Don't Allow," you won't see the App Store.


If all is right in the Screen Time settings, go to the App Library. It's the page past the last Home Screen. Type "App Store" into the search bar. Press and hold on the App Store icon. After a second or so, it should move to the Home Screen.
