Hello dorisfodge,

Thank you for using Apple Support Communities. It's my understanding that the Mail app has disappeared from your iPhone. I'm happy to help.

First, use Search on your iPhone to help locate the Mail app.
Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod

If the issue persists, it's possible the app has been deleted. Please follow the steps below:

Restore a built-in app that you removed

  1. On your iOS device, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
  3. Tap User uploaded file to restore the app.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.
Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS device or Apple Watch

Have a wonderful day!
