Wallet app missing since iOS 12.0.1

Recently upgraded to iOS 12.0.1 and now the wallet app is missing from my iPhone. I use the wallet app all the time, and have recently started using the Apple Pay prior to this update. I can search for the app and I see an entry for Wallet and Apple Pay in settings, but no Wallet application anymore. If I click on the entry for Wallet and Apple Pay in settings, it opens settings but there is no entry for Wallet and Apple Pay.

I can confirm the app and settings entry are present in iOS 11.4.1.

iPhone XS, iOS 12.0.1

Could you have possibly Restricted it?

If you go to Settings->Screen Time->Content & Privacy Restrictions->Allowed Apps->Wallet is it turned off?

If so, turn it on.

So I've never set any restrictions but everything in that list was turned off. Turned them back on and the wallet (and everything else) is back.

Thanks for the help.

Thanks for the quick response, however I know it cannot be deleted, I'm indicating that it was removed during the last iOS update. Using spotlight search is what I was referring to when I said "I can search for it...".

In the screenshot below, I'm using spotlight search. Also, when I select the "Top Hit" result, it opens Settings, but there is no longer an entry for Wallet and Apple Pay as there was before.

The Wallet App cannot be deleted so make sure it did not get moved into a folder, or onto a different Home Screen by mistake.

You can use spotlight search by swiping down from the middle of the screen, to find it. If its in a folder the Spotlight results will tell you which one.
