It's a pre-installed app and therefore cannot be deleted so you may have inadvertently moved it onto a screen or into a folder, utilities is a common one for it to disappear into. Check all screens and folders and do a search in Spotlight, it will tell you if the app it still on your iPhone but unfortunately not where it is. If you find it on one or your screens or in a folder, press the icon until it wiggles and then drag it back to where you want it.
