Google play has disappear from apple folder

[Android Central Question]

The google play app has disappear. I cannot find it in google apps or pull down app page . I can get to it through chrome browser. I open google play in the browser install an app. After its installed i try to open app and i get a message "open in google play app" which is no longer there. I bought this tab a in December. Google Play was in the app folder. Google play may have disappeared during the Oreo update. None of the apps i have installed through the chrome browser show up in the app page. Whqts going on here.

Look in the app drawer. Find it there (under the name "Play"). Long-press it, then drag it and you'll see your home screen, Keep dragging it until you get it to the apps folder, then drop it.
