Where is my Files app?

Recently upgraded to iOS13.3 (from 12.x) on iPhone 7, and just noticed it has no Files app. Do I have to try to reinstall 13.3?

If you can't find the Files app using Search -- see: Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch – Apple Support


then you can reinstall the Files app. See the following from Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch - Apple Support
