Where did my App Store go?

My App Store disappeared from my phone.

The App Store App cannot be deleted from the iPhone, so its either been moved to another home screen, into a folder, or restricted.


Search other home screens, and in folders and see if its there. You can use Spotlight Search by swiping down from the middle of the screen to try to find it. If its in a folder it will tell you which one.


If you cannot find it and search returns no results for it, make sure "Installing Apps" is not turned off in Settings->General->Restrictions->Installing Apps. If its turned off, it will hide the App Store App.
