iCloud Photos uses the "Photos" app on your iPhone 11. There is no "iCloud Photo" app.


Apps can be removed from the home screen without being delete. 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.


If it was deleted, see the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support


Restore a built-in app that you deleted

  1. On your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app.
  3. Tap the Redownload button .
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home Screen.
