App store

[Chipman64]

I evidently delete the App Store app on my phone. How do I get it back.

The App Store can't be deleted.

Open settings, general, and turn off restrictions

So where is my widget after I do that. It's still not on any of my screens

I've seen this issue occur on early versions of iOS 8 and iOS 9. A symptom is the application icon not appearing anywhere on the home screen (including in folders) but the app can still be opened by searching for the app in Spotlight

If you are not up to date on your OS updates, and your restrictions are turned off from settings, please check for the latest updates to your phone and install them. These updates will validate that the system apps are present, not damaged, and will replace the icon.

Please let us know if that doesn't help.

I am updated. And I couldn't find it with spotlight.

I am currently doing a backup to iCloud. Then Verizon help wants me to try a reset to factory settings.

The only thing that is still there is iTunes Store and iBooks

Chipman64 –
The Lost and Found is here to help you. Having the App Store icon on your device is a must. Please go to Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. Your device will power Off/On. Check and the App Store icon should be there.

Try this. Back up your device using iTunes. Then, turn it off. Turn it back on by holding the power button and home buttons for around 10-15 seconds, until the phone reboots and shows the iTunes logo. When this occurs, with the device still connected to the computer, iTunes will appear showing two options - Restore and Update. Hit the "Update" button. This will re-install iOS without deleting any of your data, and should in theory help bring back those icons.

Otherwise proceed with the factory reset. If the problem resurfaces after restoring from Backup, then we'll have to improvise a fix.

Sorry That didn't work.

We want to see you downloading again, Chipman64!  The final step would be a Restore via iTunes. Here is a link with additional instructions: hhttp//wwwwvverizonwirelesscom/support/knowledge-base-40034/
