How can I get my Gmail icon to show up on my Android main screen?

[AC Question]

I have a Samsung Galaxy Tab E with Android 6.0.1 - The only way I can open my Gmail is to touch my App icon, a screen full of applications appears but the Gmail icon is NOT among them. I have to hit 'Search' at the top to find it and it is located at the top of an empty page with only the Skype icon for company.

My question: How can I get the Gmail icon to appear on my main screen? If I long-press the Gmail icon, the only thing that happens is that Gmail opens.

Thank you.

Welcome to the forums. Have you checked if Gmail is included in a folder called Google or Samsung in your app drawer?

Thank you for your quick answer, Javier P. There are NO Google or Samsung icons in my App folder. Can you help in some other way?

Thanks for registering. Have you checked if the Gmail app shows up as hidden/disabled in your app manager?

Application Manager shows Gmail as normal: There are no indications that it is disabled or hidden. Thank you.
