I can only open an app in App Store

I can only open the default "Weather" app by tapping "Open" in the App Store. I accidentally deleted its icon from Home page.


How do I restore its icon to the Home page.


Thanks.

Hi ProustGiulio,


I solved the problem. I had enabled restrictions in Settings on my grandson's last visit. I forgot that.


When restrictions were removed, several apps re-appeared on my Home page.


Thanks for your help.

Hi ProustGiulio,


Thanks for your response.


>> Please read section "Restore a built-in app that you removed" in the following support guide:

Remove built-in Apple apps from the Home screen on your iOS 10 device or Apple Watch - Apple Support


I read the instructions, but I'm not able to follow step 3:


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 ? to restore the app. [? = the cloud symbol with down arrow]


I can find the app, but I don't see the ? symbol in the app details (where it says "Open"). Where is the symbol?


Thanks.
