contacts icon on iPad gone

My contacts on my iPad have not upgraded during syncing for more than a year. I went to an apple.com blog site and was told to delete the icon. I did this, but now it doesn't come back after turning iPad off then back on again.

You have to download the app again from the App Store.

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.

If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.
