After reviewing your post, it sounds like you don't see the Camera app on the iPhone. I would recommend that you read this article, it may be able to help the issue.

You don't see the Camera app

You should see the Camera app on your Home screen.

If it’s not there, search for it with Spotlight. If Camera doesn't show up in the search, check to see if it's blocked.

Go to Settings > General > Restrictions and look under Allow. Make sure Camera is on.

Thanks for using Apple Support Communities.

Have a nice day,

Mario
