For newer iphones (running iOS 13 or greater) there is a MUCH BETTER way to restore the settings app WITHOUT having to RESET. Keep Swiping RIGHT until the App Library appears. Look for the UTILITIES folder and the SETTINGS app will be there. Press and HOLD the Settings App until the icons start to jiggle. You can then just slide the SETTINGS icon to where ever you want it to be.
