I am unable to find the music icon on my iPhone desktop

Is there a way to reinstall the default music application so that the icon can return back to my desktop?

Yes. If Search doesn't help find it, you can reinstall. See the following from Delete built-in Apple apps on your iOS 12 or later device or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Restore a built-in app that you deleted


  1. On your iOS device, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
  3. Tap  to restore the app.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

The scenario does not work for my situation. Apparently the application was not completely deleted and still exists somewhere on my phone. When going to the App Store my only option is to OPEN the application. The same thing happens when searching the phone for a music application. Unfortunately this option does not help me.
