When i swipe down from any home screen to search for an app, my iPhone will not find the Notes app. I can now go to the App Library page, search for Notes and it will find it.

Has anyone had this issue before?
 
Did you happen to delete the notes app?

You are able to remove it, may have done it accidentally?

No. I use the app all of the time and it’s on my phone. It also shows up in the App Library page. Here it is in a folder. The 2nd image is when I search on the new App Library page.

Have a look in Siri an Search in Settings. Scroll down to Notes and ensure that Notes and any app you want to find by search has the, "Show app in search" option turned on.

Thank you very much! That fixed it. I have no idea why it was turned off but I learned something new today.

Just paying it forward. I found that little fact out myself a Year or so back in exactly the same way for exactly the same reason, but on a different forum.🙂
