How do you restore the message app in iphone

Im able to receive messages and I can see it in the settings. The app itself no longer shows up and I can’t create a message due to not being able to access the message app.

iPhone 6s, iOS 11.2.6

I don't believe you can delete the "message app" from your iPhone. I is probably hidden in a folder. Search for it on your iPhone:
