# How to Get App Back on Home Screen
Losing a frequently used app from the home screen can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can take to get it back:
## Check App Drawer
Before moving on to other solutions, check the app drawer to make sure the app hasn’t been completely uninstalled. If you can’t find the app in the app drawer, you might have to reinstall it via the app store.
## Reset Home Screen Layout
If you can see the app in the app drawer but it’s not on the home screen, try resetting the home screen layout. Here’s how:
* Long press on an empty space on the home screen
* Tap on “Home Screen Settings”
* Look for an option called “Home Screen Layout” or “Reset Home Screen”
* Tap on it
* The home screen layout should reset, and your app may reappear
## Check for App Restrictions
It’s possible that the app has been restricted on your device. To check if this is the case, follow these steps:
* Go to “Settings”
* Tap on “Apps” or “Application Manager”
* Look for the app you want to add back to the home screen
* Tap on the app
* Look for “App Info” and tap on it
* Look for an option called “Disable” or “Restrict”
* If there’s a checkmark beside this option, it means the app has been restricted
* Tap on the option to remove the checkmark
## Add App Back Manually
If none of the above solutions work, you can try adding the app back manually. Here’s how:
* Go to the app drawer
* Find the app you want to add back to the home screen
* Long press on the app icon
* Drag the icon to where you want it to appear on the home screen
* Release the icon
By following these steps, you should be able to get your desired app back on the home screen.
