App Store will not return to Home Screen.

Hi, I have this problem with my daughter’s phone, and have been scouring these threads for a solution. I really appreciate the many clear and concise replies on these threads with instructions that actually make sense. That being said, I have tried ALL of them. Completely removed all screen time restrictions on her phone, (allowed downloading apps) etc, not in App Library or spotlight search. Not blocked in Siri search settings, restarted, updated. Reset Home Screen. . . Everything short of full factory reset.

Did that already, still didn’t come back.

If you tried resetting the Home Screen Layout, my next suggestion would be to back up the phone then restore it to factory settings. Check for the App Store. If it's there, restore your backup and check again.

Ideally, you would do the restore to factory settings using a computer, not iCloud. When you do that, it downloads a new copy of iOS.
