How can i out the watch app icon back on the phone Home Screen?

I’ve been having issues with the phone syncing to the watch. I deleted/hid the app and when I go to the App Store to redownload it my only option is to Open the app. I’ve searched on the phone in Utilities or wherever it may be hiding and I cannot find it. How do I get the icon back to my Home Screen?


I use an iPhone X on OS 14.6.

Apple Watch Series 4, watchOS 7

Restore a built-in app that you deleted

  1. On your iOS or iPadOS device, go to the App Store.
  2. Search for the app. Make sure that you use the exact name of the app. Find the correct name of built-in apps.
  3. Tap  to restore the app.
  4. Wait for the app to restore, then open it from your Home screen.

If you have an Apple Watch, restoring an app to your iPhone also restores that app to your Apple Watch.


Try updating to iOS 14.7.1. and to watchOS 7.6.1
