Deleted “Voice Memo” and “Measure” apps from iPhone.
I can access “Voice Memo” through the App Store, but have not found any way to re-install.
Does anybody know how to resolve this problem?
Phone is iPhone 14 running iOS 17.6.1
iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 17

Since the apps are already installed, they cannot be downloaded. They can be opened within the App Store but they do not appear anywhere on the “desktop”. An option to “Install” does not appear in the App Store for them. I previously deleted the “Utilities” folder along with the apps.
If they are showing as "Open" in the App Store, that means they are still on your phone.
Go to the App Library. It's the page past the last Home Screen. Tap the search bar and either type in the name of the app or scroll through the alphabetical list to find it. Press and hold on the icon. It should eventually pop over to the Home Screen. The timing can be a bit tricky so be patient.

If I go to settings, I can change the settings for these installed apps, but icons for them do not appear on the “desktop”
The only way I can access them is to open them from within the App Store.
You can re-download any pre-installed apps from the App Store that you may have deleted on your iPhone.
Here are the Measure and Voice Memo apps from the App Store:
Thank you for a well written, concise set of instructions that worked!
Thank you Idris! Your response was concise, easy to follow, and now I can record sounds again.
