Hello trystanhutchens,


Welcome to Apple Support Communities. We understand wanting to get the App Store back on your iPhone, and we'd be happy to provide some guidance.


Which iPhone model, and iOS version are you experiencing this issue with? Settings > General > About.


The App Store app is not one of the built-in Apple apps that can be deleted so it is most likely removed from the Home screen, or was moved to another screen or folder.


Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12, iOS 13, or iPadOS device or Apple Watch


If you are running iOS 14 or later, please follow the steps in the following link to find the App Store app in App Library:


Find your apps in App Library on iPhone


If you are running older iOS version, you can locate the App Store app as follows:


Use Search on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch


You can also check if there are any restrictions on your iPhone causes the App Store to be hidden or unaccessible.


Use parental controls on your child's iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch


We hope this information is useful. Kind regards.
