I use to have an icon for “Photos” on my home screen. It disappeared about a month ago. The photos are still available, but can only be accessed through the “Camera” app, and not in an organized manner. Was this the result of an upgrade, or did I accidentally do something to hide/delete it? Any help would be appreciated.

Must’ve hidden it. You can’t delete those. Check if it’s hidden in a folder

If you still cannot find it. A way to find all apps is to stock organize your apps. Tap General > at bottom of list Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout.

do “search”… when you see the PHOTO ICON…. Drag it to the edge/open part of the screen …. Let it go… get out of search…. the PHOTO ICON should be in an open spot on your screen.
