deleted App Store

Hello, I have a question about how to install App Store since, It’s deleted on my phone and I would like to install applications. I reseted my whole phone but realised that It’s still not there. I don’t know how to fix this issue.


Thank you for the time 🙂

The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but it can be removed from the home screen. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.


Another reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time, tap Content & Privacy Restrictions, tap iTunes & App Store Purchases, choose a setting and set to Allow.
