How can I restore deleted Calculator app on my iPad?

I deleted the calculator app by mistake but I can’t find it on the App Store to restore it. There are only 3rd party apps. IOS 18 has one but I can’t find it.

#You can use Spotlight Search find and restore the missing calculator app icon simply by searching for it. From there, you can launch the App and use it or add it to your Home screen.


1. Be on your iPhone Home Screen (default) and swipe down from the middle to

open Spotlight Search.


2. Type Calculator.


3. From the search results, tap the calculator app icon to open it.


4. Else, press the calculator app icon and drag it down onto the Home Screen to add it

there.


#Additionally, you can also find calculator in App Library, which you can access by swiping left on the very last Home Screen page.


You should find the App Store in the Utilities folder of the App Library. Just like above, you can press the app icon and drag it left to add that app to the Home Screen.
