Safari icon missing from Home Screen after update

After installing the 26.1 update my Safari icon is gone. I can still access Safari using Search, but have no way to restore the icon on my home page, where it used to be. I’ve reset settings but it’s still not there. Help!

iPhone 16 Pro, iOS 26

Safari is probably in the App Library, the last page of the Home Screen. In the App Library, search for Safari and drag the app back to your Home Screen.
