How to get the mail icon back on iphone

The Mail icon has been removed from the iPhone's home screen in iOS 14 and later versions. Instead, you can access the Mail app by following these steps:

  1. Swipe up from the bottom of the screen to open the Dock (or swipe down from the middle of the screen on iPhone X and later).
  2. Tap on the "Mail" icon in the Dock.

Alternatively, you can also access the Mail app by:

  1. Tapping on the "Messages" app icon on the home screen.
  2. Tapping on the "Compose" button in the top-right corner of the Messages app.
  3. Tapping on the "Mail" button at the top of the screen.

If you're looking for a way to add a Mail icon to your home screen, you can create a shortcut:

  1. Open the "Shortcuts" app on your iPhone.
  2. Tap on the "+" icon in the top-right corner to create a new shortcut.
  3. Search for "Mail" and select the "Mail" action.
  4. Tap "Add to Home Screen" and choose a name for the shortcut (e.g., "Mail").
  5. Tap "Add" to add the shortcut to your home screen.

Note that this will create a shortcut to the Mail app, but it won't be a traditional app icon.
