Unhide an app: Lock or hide an app on iPhone - Apple Support (IN)

You can stop hiding an app so that you can see and use it.

Go to the Home Screen.
Swipe left past all your Home Screen pages to go to App Library.
Tap the Hidden folder at the bottom of App Library, then authenticate using Face ID (or Touch ID or a passcode).
To move the app out of the Hidden folder, touch and hold the app, tap Don’t Require Face ID (or Touch ID or Passcode), then authenticate using Face ID (or Touch ID or a passcode).
