How to get the App Store back after it deleted???

So my mum put a parental control on apps and I downloaded an app it didn’t like so it deleted the app and the App Store and because of this I can’t update any of my apps and it’s becoming really inconvenient. What should I do?

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 16

You did not delete it. All you can do is remove it from the Home Screen. Go to the App Library by swiping all the way to the left and type "App Store" in the search field or swipe down and the app will be seen alphabetically.


The only other way the App Store will not be seen is if Screen Time restrictions were set to not allow installing apps. This setting is at Settings > Screen Time > Content & Privacy Restrictions > iTunes & App Store > Installing Apps.
