iPad Restore deleted Apple Photos app

[Joel S]

Some time back I must have deleted this app— it’s not showing up in any searches on my iPad. However as it’s a system app there seems to be no way to download it again. It’s not in the App store.

I’ve had no luck finding a solution especially since most searches returned are about restoring Apple photos, not the app itself.

I’m using an iPad Pro with iPadOS 13.3.

Thanks,

Joel

I don't think you can delete it. I just went into "rearrange apps" and of all my camera apps in the group, the photos app was the only one not to give me the x delete button on the app icon.

Interesting. I can’t imagine how it could not show up in a search of my iPad then. I have it on my iPhone and iPad Mini just not on my iPad Pro.
