Add App Store application to iPad

The App Store was mistakenly deleted from my iPad. Apple.com doesn’t seem to have a download link, just an “open in the app “ link which doesn’t work if you don’t have the App Store app. Any ideas?

iPad Air 2, iOS 11

You can’t delete the App Store. If you could, you would be rendering the device useless.


You may have restricted in Settings>General>Restrictions.


It may be hidden in a folder. Do a spotlight search for it. If it appears in the search, it will show you which folder it is in.


You can also reset the home screen layout in Settings>General>Reset>Reset Home Screen Layout. That will return the device to out of the box condition as far as home screen structure is concerned.
