 Quickly Locate the Calendar App with Search

If you didn't accidentally delete your Calendar app, then it might be hiding somewhere in a folder or the App Library on your iPhone. Finding the Calendar app on your iPhone is easy using the iPhone Search feature, which will search both the App Store and your device. Here's how to search for a missing app on your iPhone with Search.

  1. On your Home Screen, tap Search to open the Search Field.

  2. Type "Calendar" in the search field at the top of your display.

    enter missing app name in search bar
  3. Tap Calendar in the results or tap go.

    tap the app icon or tap go

If the Calendar app is in a folder, the name of the folder will appear to the right of the app icon (if you've typed enough of the full name of the app in the search field and ignore the suggestions that pop up before that). You can move your Calendar app out of the folder it's in and put it somewhere more visible, so you don't have to search for it every time you need it. 

Find the Calendar App in the App Library

The App Library offers a great way to keep all your apps organized. The App Library is also a handy tool that will show all your apps and help you find apps that are hidden, missing, or have disappeared. This feature also allows you to delete icons from your Home screen while still keeping the app itself in your App Library. If your iPhone calendar is missing, but you didn't delete the app, you'll be able to find it in your iPhone's App Library.

Whether you add your Calendar app back to your Home Screen, or learn it was already there and you missed it, you can now move the app to a more convenient location like the first Home Screen or your Dock. Now, learn how to search events in your calendar to make the most of your days! If your Safari app has also disappeared, you can learn some easy ways to get Safari back on your iPhone
