Enabling disabled app

[Android Central Question]

I accidentally disabled my settings app. I need help enabling it, not sure how to enable it and hoping I don't have to do factory reset.

For most apps.

Open Settings
Tap Apps
Some phones may have it listed as Apps & Notifications
Go to Disabled
Tap the app you want to enable
Tap Enable

If you disabled Settings itself, you'd have to root the phone, then use an app like Link2SD to "unfreeze" it. (Link2SD calls it freezing and unfreezing, not disabling and enabling, but it's the same thing.)
