Not all apps that appear to be missing are actually hidden or gone. Make sure the apps are truly gone and not just moved to another screen or in a folder. After upgrades to iOS, apps are sometimes moved to new folders. If you recently upgraded your operating system, try searching for the app you're looking for using the built-in Spotlight search tool.
If Spotlight doesn't enable the app you're looking for, check whether restrictions are enabled in the Settings app. How you turn them off depends on the version of iOS you're running.
Your apps may also be missing because they have been removed. Starting with iOS 10, Apple allows you to remove some preinstalled apps (although those apps are technically only hidden, not deleted). Previous versions of iOS did not allow this.
