I lost the photo icon on my iphone 14 (?) i still can acces my photos in search but I have not the Icon

The Photos app is not one of the apps that can be deleted but it can be removed from the home screen. 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.

Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.
