Magnifyer no longer available in accessibility settings

Low Vision Accessibility on Apple Products

Hi
I would like to use the built in Magnifier, but a couple of years ago i deleted the app as i found it isn't as good as super vision+, especially when viewing LCD screens. Now, with later versions of IOS, I want to put the app back on my home screen but Magnifier is no longer an option in settings>Accessibility. I have added it under the tripple press power button, but now I am presenteed with the option of Magnifier or Voice over each time. I would prefer to have this option for voice over only and have a magnifier app on the home screen. Does anyone know how to get it back once it was deleted?
thank you

Did you check your app library? If it's not there, you may be able to redownload it from the AppStore.

I don't have enough vision for magnifier to be beneficial, but a good friend was here this past weekend and used the magnifier on my phone to help him assemble some tray tables for me. Not sure how adjustible the settings are, but its very easy to get the magnifier up and running.
