Deleted app off home screen but still shows up as downloaded and as a widget… Please help.

Hey guys so lately i’ve been falling asleep with my phone on and accidentally deleting apps. I accidentally deleted the weather app off my home screen. It still shows up as a widget when I swipe all the way left but I want the app back where it was. I went into the apple store and it says it’s downloaded but I cant find it on my home screen. How do I fix this?

iPhone 11 Pro, iOS 15

Let's be sure that we're both talking about the same thing.


  1. If you place your finger on the right edge of the home screen and swipe it to the left to get to your next home screen and continue doing that until you get to the screen that has a search box at the top of the screen with the words "App Library" in the search box, do you find the Weather app there?
  2. If so, can you touch and hold it until it and slide it to the left until you get it to the last home screen (the one that is just before the App Library screen and then tap Done at the top right of that home screen?
  3. If so, does it appear the same size as the other apps on that home screen?
