Podcasts app missing on iPad Air 2
I am unable to find Podcats on my iPad Air 2. All other Apple Apps are installed. If I search for it on App Store, it shows up with 'open' option, but nothing happens. Unable to find it with 'search' for Podcats on the iPad, nor within iTunes. I have tried a reinstall, even a recovery update. has it been removed from iPads, no information on it being removed on the internet.
Is there a fix for this!?
Thank you for your time
