iPhone 6(S)/Plus How to Restore/Recover the "Settings" Icon onto the Home Screen

[Newbert]

Somehow, I lost my "Settings" icon that was on my Home Screen. I followed these instructions and, while I CAN access settings using Spotlight Search, I still can't restore the icon. All these instructions did was reset all of my settings (ie - ringtone, font size, etc), but the icon is still missing <grr>.

Can anyone help me with this?

Thanks!

Can't you drag it out from app library?

 

[Newbert]

Perhaps --- Where can I find the "app library"? (I only see "App Store".)

Thanks.

 

[now i see it]

On iOS 14 the App Library is a dubious feature that organizes all your apps into questionable folders.
It can be found by continuing to swipe through all your home screens to the end. It's the last page.
If the Settings app icon still exists, it'll be in the App Library somewhere

Yup - I found it in the App Library. Thanks a lot, guys! I just wish I knew how/why it disappeared in the first place!

I think maybe your iPhone could have become self-aware, and it doesn't want you to have control of it.
