Apps lost from Home Screen
All apps disappeared from Home Screen. No pop-up to re-add to Home Screen when I access in App Library. Only choice is to share.

Hey there vgbixchel,
Thanks for reaching out to the Apple Support Communities. We understand you need help moving apps from your App Library back to your Home Screen, and we'd be happy to help.
To get started, if you're not seeing the option to move app to Home Screen, it's possible that the app may actually still be on the Home Screen. For more details, see this link under the "Move an app from App Library to the Home Screen" section: Find your apps in App Library on iPhone - Apple Support
If this is the case, try resetting your Home Screen Layout with the steps in this next resource under "Reset the Home Screen and apps to their original layout": Move apps and widgets on the Home Screen on iPhone - Apple Support
From that resource we do want you to be aware that, "Any folders you’ve created are removed, and apps you’ve downloaded are arranged alphabetically after apps that came with your iPhone."
Let us know if that's able to help.
Take care.

Actually I let the battery completely run down and after the phone was recharged, they all reappeared on the Home Screen. Whew! I just wish I knew what caused their disappearance.🤷♀️
