Open the App Store app and search for the clock app, which would appear with a cloud icon next to it. Tap the cloud and the clock app will download. It's unfortunate it was recommended you reset your home screen since you suggested up front it did not appear in App Library. If it was in the App Library, it would mean it was still on your phone. But since it wasn't there, you did truly delete it.

Reset the Home Screen Layout:

If widgets are not working as they should or have gone missing somehow, then you need to reset the Home Screen Layout... Go Here: Move and Organize Apps on iPhone - Apple Support. You'd have to add back all the widgets that you can recall being back on there. So, write down what is currently on the Home Screen.

Scroll to: Reset the Home Screen and Apps to their Original Layout

  1. Go to: Settings
  2. Tap: General
  3. Tap: Reset
  4. Tap: Reset Home Screen Layout
  5. Then... Add the apps back
