There are two apps with similar names -- the App Store app and the Apple Store app.


re the App Store app:

The App Store app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but with iOS 14 it can be removed from the home screen. If you have iOS 14, go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.


Another reason for it not being visible is due to a restriction on purchasing. Go to Settings and tap Screen Time. tap Content & Privacy Restrictions. tap iTunes & App Store Purchases. choose a setting and set to Allow. See: https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT201304#prevent-purchases


re the Apple Store app:

It can be deleted or just removed from the home screen. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). If it is there you can touch and hold the app and slide it left back to the home screen. If not in the App Library, go to the App Store and download it from there.
