Find iPhone and Find My Friends icon apps missing

IPhone 6 and 6s iOS 11.3.1 My 6s has both Find iPhone and Find My Friends apps and apps icons. I am the Sharing Organizer. My wife's 6 can access Find iPhone by using iCloud but we cannot find a way to display the app. Also, the Find My Friends app has no iCon. When we attempt to download the app, it offers to open it as an existing app-it opens and works, but only from the app store. What must be done to have both apps work on her phone as they do on mine?

She will need to search her other app folder or home screen, or general - reset - reset home screen layout.

If the App Store shows an "open" button for the App, it means its already installed.


It may be in a folder or other home page, so you would need find it.


You can use Spotlight search to find the App. If its in a folder it will tell you which one. To open Spotlight, swipe down from the middle of the screen.


Find My iPhone cannot be deleted, or restricted. So again must be in some home screen or folder.
