Restoring Mail Icon

I inadvertently deleted the Mail icon from my iPhone 11 home screen. (I'm running 14.6.) It is not hiding in any of my folders. I can find my mail with Spotlight, but this obviously isn't convenient. When I go to the App store, I can't redownload the App because it is "open." How can I get my mail icon back with the least amount of disruption? Is there a reset that I can do that won't delete my other apps? Thank you.

It seems you have sent the Mail app to your App Library (It is still downloaded on the phone, but does not appear on the home screen)


You can search for it in the App Library and then click and drag it to the Home Screen.
