App Store Disappeared

The App Store has disappeared off my child’s phone. No matter how many settings I change, I can’t get it to reappear.

iPhone SE, iOS 17

Not knowing what you’ve tried, here is what you could do. Sorry if this duplicates what you have tried.


The App Store app may be in the App Library, the last page of the Home Screen. Swipe from right to left to the very last screen, locate the app and drag it to your Home Screen.


If you do not see the "App Store" application in the App Library, go to Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store Purchases and allow Installing Apps.


If the problem persists, go to Settings > Screen Time, scroll down, then turn off "Share across Devices".
