Your iPhone comes with a range of built-in apps already installed. Some of these useful built-in apps include Calendar, Stocks, Calculator, Mail and more. Some pre-installed apps cannot be deleted. Others can be deleted, but you can restore them. The same applies to iPads.
Before reinstalling an app you have deleted, search for it on your device and make sure it is not ‘hidden’ somewhere. From the Home Screen, swipe down until the Spotlight search bar appears. Type the app’s name and wait for its icon to appear in the results. If it appears, this means the app is installed but hidden in a folder. In recent versions of iOS, you can search for the app in the App Library and add it back to the Home Screen.
What happens if you cannot find the app you are looking for in the Spotlight results? If the app has been completely deleted from your device, simply download it again for free from the App Store.
In the App Store, type the name of the app in the search field. Check the icon to make sure you have selected the ‘official’ app rather than a third-party app with a similar name. To make sure it is the right one, tap its entry in the results list, then check the information screen. For built-in apps, you will see ‘Developer:Apple’ with the iCloud download icon alongside it instead of the Get or Buy button. Once downloaded, the app is available on your device again and you can easily find it either on the Home Screen or in the App Library.
