App is missing on my phone, where is it hiding?

Seem to have misplaced an app and it’s driving me crazy!
I have to go to the App Store, search for it and open it there to access it. I can’t uninstall it because it’s not there!

Anyone any ideas where it is hiding?

Assuming you've got apps arranged in folders and an iPhone, swipe down so you get the search bar and put the name of the app in there. When it comes up it will also say which folder it is in

Sorry to jump in on your thread, but I’ve a question like this.
My contacts app has disappeared. If I search for it, as described above, it comes up but it’s not in any folder.

I just access contact through the phone app. I think it vanished with one of the iOS updates and I'm not sure where the actual app is hiding!

Actually, my contacts app is filed in my "unused" folder right at the end. This is a folder I hide apps in that can't be deleted

Swipe as far right as you can and you should see the screen as in the photo.
Hopefully you can find the app here & move it back to where you want it x

If you’re on a iPhone and the app isn’t coming up when you search, do this-

Go to Settings.
Then “Siri & Search”.
Scroll until you find the app and click on it.
Enable “Show app in search” (about the fourth option down).
