Under iOS 10 and later, you may have removed the app.
If so, to add it back:
Open the App Store app > search for "watch" > add Apple's app to your iPhone.

If so, to add it back:
Open the App Store app > search for "watch" > add Apple's app to your iPhone.
Options for moving the Watch app to a different location on your iPhone Home screen include:
- Find the app manually on your iPhone > touch and hold the icon until it jiggles > drag it to your Home screen, then release it > press the Home button when you have finished reorganising apps.
- With your iPhone connected to your computer, find and relocate the app icon using iTunes: within iTunes, select iPhone, then click on Apps.
- Reset your iPhone Home screen layout to factory settings: go to Settings > General > Reset > tap on Reset Home Screen Layout. This returns the Home screen and apps to their original layout. All apps are removed from any folders that you may have created (folders are deleted) and the original wallpaper is also restored. Apple apps (including the Watch app) will then be listed first, followed by third-party apps.
The required search phrase in the App Store has since changed.

Hi
It is not possible to delete the Watch app from iOS, although you may have moved it (perhaps into a folder).
To search for the app: when viewing the Home screen on your iPhone, swipe down from the centre of the screen to open Search. Then type "watch" into the search box at the top of the screen.
I am expecting Santa to bring me an apple watch. I do not have the watch icon on my phone. I have tried to search and I can't find it. When I search the only results are for iTunes store or find i phone. I also tried resetting the home screen but still can't find the watch app. Please help... Thanks!
Did anyone reply? I can't find my apple watch icon/app on my phone. I had to delete it so I could pair again, since my phone was recently reset to factory settings, etc. It wouldn't recognize my watch, so I removed content from watch and removed the app. Can't locate it anymore, not on the App Store
