How do I get the voice memo app to show on my iPhone5?

The Voice Memo app button doesn't appear on my new iPhone 5. I can find it by typing it in to the search. How do I get the microphone button to show on my screen? I did a refresh (quit & restart).

iPhone 5, iOS 6.0.1, 32 gb

One way that would probably work is Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout


If that fails, when you find it in the search, where is it? Is it in some folder with other apps?

OK. I have it now.

First I checked for a Utilities Folder. It didn't exist.

When I searched for it I could click the link in search results and pull up the app. Couldn't move it; only record.

Next I reset the home screen layout. It removed all of my folders and set my apps (except home screen) in alphabetical order. Now I have nine pages of unorganized apps (ouch).

However, there on page two was a Utilities Floder, in it the Voice Memos app.

I can now move it to the home page and re-organize my apps and folders.

It's going to be a useful app. Thank you for the advice.
