How do I return an app to the home screen after moving it to the app library? There is no option to "Add to Home Screen" after removing it

There is no option to "Add to Home Screen" when I search for the app and tap and hold it. It is as if there is no reverse of adding to the app library.

from the search field, there is not a pop up menu


From your Home Screen, swipe left until you get to the App Library.

Swipe downward and you'll get an alphabetical list of your apps.

Locate the app in the list or type the app name into the search field

Once you've located the app, tap/hold until it raises/selects, then drag it and it'll pop out to your Home Screen

If you locate the app in the presorted categories, you can tap/hold on the app icon there and it'll give you the option to move to the Home Screen
