If someone else is controlling your iPhone (other than the local IT department, or parents or such), then you need help far beyond that which can be offered here. The access required and the questions involved in investigating that are just too sensitive to post in most any forum.


What to do: If you can't find an app on the Home Screen on your iPhone - Apple Support


Apps are downloaded from the app store app, which is an app always available and cannot be deleted, though it can be hidden with the use of parental controls or supervised devices.


Apps don’t appear in the Find My app.


If the apps are misplaced and in the app library, then the entire home screen layout across all apps can be re-alphabetized using:

Settings > General > Transfer or Reset iPhone > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.
