Restore app to Home Screen on iPhone

I removed an app from the Home Screen, and now I can only open it from the App Store - how do I restore it to the Home Screen? (14 pro, iOS 18.6.2)

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 18

Did you check, if the app has been moved to the App Library on your iPhone?

If yes, you can move it from there to your Home Screen again:


...

  1. Go to App Library.
  2. Touch and hold the app until the app icons begin to jiggle and the app moves to the Home Screen, then lift your finger.
