My iPhone 5 Camera App and Facetime App went missing. How can I get them back?

See my earlier post entitled, "Dealing with photos"

ChrisJ4203 referred my to this link:

It solved my problem.

Sorry, your reply has absolutely nothing to do with the OP's question about why the camera icon is missing from the Home screen on the iPhone.

As I wrote, the camera icon on my brand new iphone 5 is gone. For this is a pre-installed app, wouldn't I usually not even be able to remove it from the screen? And I think there was a facetime app in the first place, when I got the phone on friday.

Restarting the phone didn't help and connecting it to iTunes only showed, that the camera app isn't anywhere else to be restored. Which I already guessed, because the search function on my phone didn't show it either.

On locked screen there is the camera symbol, but from day one (even when there actually was a camera app) it only jiggles, but does not start.

This is a private, not a corporate phone.

Settings/General/Restrictions - the camera has been disabled.

It's also possible that the camera has been moved to another page of the Home screen or a folder. Go to search (press HOME when on the first page of the Home screen, or swipe it left to right) and search for "Camera".

I still think you should try the link I inserted. When I would connect my iPhone5 to my computer,

It would tell me it found no camera. I couldn't see the pictures I had recently taken. When I went to the app as instructed by the link, I clicked on Image Capture in the Applications folder, found my iPhone under "Devices" and now I have my new pictures.

Do you have a a work Exchange email account on your phone? The admin of the Exchange account can restrict things like the camera.

What I did was go to settings>general>restrictions and enable them temporarily and turned off camera it will say turn off face time to then turn them back on and they will be back then you can turn off restrictions and it will be somewhere on your screens I just did this a minute ago because I just had the same problem but this worked for me hope it works for you .
