Mail app on home screen

I cannot go to App Store and press cloud icon because it does not have the cloud icon. It only says OPEN. So that is no Help to re-install my Mail icon on my Home Screen.

iPhone 8 Plus, iOS 14

Swipe back to the App Library. After you get there, swipe down slightly and you will get an alphabetical list of the apps on your phone. Scroll down to the M, or use the alphabet on the right side of the screen. You can open it from there. You may also be able to see it in the icon grouping of apps at the beginning. If you do press and hold the app and then drag it back to your home screen.
