Mindfulness App Not Showing

So the mindfulness app on my iWatch5 disappeared some iOS updates ago. I now have iOS8 installed and iOS15 on the phone. The mindfulness app does not show on my watch, nor in the health data section or iPhone Settings. Any idea how to get this app back onto the watch and showing? I never deleted it, but it disappeared with some prior version of an iOS update.


Thanks.

Okay, I've answered my own question. Turns out I have the App Store turned off on my watch. At some point, the mindfulness app dropped off my watch and was never updated. Turning back on the App Store on my phone so it the App Store shows up on my watch and then selecting the mindfulness app to download is what reinstalled it. What a pain.
