Add the Calendar Back to Your iPhone

"I accidentally deleted the Calendar app on my iPhone; now what?" With current versions of iOS, you can't actually delete the Calendar app; you just remove it from your Home screen (it will still be in the App Library). If you're running an earlier iOS and accidentally deleted your Calendar app, you need to reinstall the app from the App Store. To get the Calendar back on your iPhone:

1. Open the App Store and tap Search.
   
   
2. Type "Calendar" in the Search bar, then tap Search.
   
   
3. Once you locate the Calendar app, you will have the option to tap either Open or the Download icon (cloud with a downward arrow).
4. If you see Open, it means that the Calendar app is installed on your iPhone already. You can simply tap Open to use your calendar right away, and go through your app folders later to find the app and put it in a more easily visible location. The Download icon means that you somehow deleted the Calendar app from your phone; tap the icon to re-download the app.
   
   

 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. Tap Search on your Home screen.
   
   
2. Type "Calendar" in the Search field above the keyboard.
   
   
3. Tap Calendar in the results or tap Open next to calendar in the Search bar.
   
   

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 icon 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!
