clock app, alarm, timer all missing iphone 14 ios 16.2

I first noticed the alarm icon was not available in my control panel. I checked the settings and it's not available to add to the control panel. I've looked in the app library and used the search bar to locate the clock app (the default app) and the app is not available using either of those searches. I've restarted my phone and still no app. To clarify, the clock time shows up on my lock screen, but I can't find the default clock app that contains the alarm, timer, and stopwatch functions. I've had this phone (14 pro) for less than a month. The other thing I've noticed is that my background photo disappears and becomes a black background. I've restarted the phone twice now and both times cannot find the clock app and the background photo is the one I selected. Shortly after the restart the photo disappears to the black screen. Any thoughts or suggestions would be greatly appreciated?

iPhone 14 Pro, iOS 16

It sounds as if you may have deleted the Clock app. You'll need to go to the App Store and re-download it.
