Mail App Disappeared from iPhone? How to Find & Restore It (2022)

Is your Mail app not showing on iPhone? If your Mail icon has disappeared from your iPhone, here's how to get it back!

Many people have asked, "how do I get my email back on my iPhone?" Whether you accidentally deleted the Mail app on your iPhone, moved the app, or are having issues finding the All Inboxes folder within your Mail app, we can help! Let's cover how to get the Mail app back on your iPhone.

Why Is My Mail Icon Missing on iPhone?

Your Mail app is missing for one of two reasons: you've removed the app from your Home screen or you've accidentally deleted the app. In either case, the solution is fairly straightforward. If your iPhone Mail app icon is gone from your Home screen, you should first check the App Library on your iPhone. If you see your Mail app in the App Library, you can just move it back to your Home screen.

If you didn't see the Mail app in the App Library, don't worry. You're not the only iOS user who has reported that their iPhone Mail icon has disappeared (or that another built-in app is missing). If your Mail app has suddenly disappeared, it's likely you somehow activated the edit Home screen function and accidentally deleted the Mail app. In the sections below, we'll cover how to get the Mail app back on your iPhone and re-activate the email accounts synced to your Mail app. This way, it will appear exactly as it did before.
