Google search bar gone

hcpitney416 — Mon, 04 Mar 2024 19:08:13 GMT

I used to have a Google search bar right above my clock on my home screen but as of yesterday it is gone, and there is no widget available. Anyone know how to get it back, or why it happened in the first place?

Long ptess on any empty area of your phone screen and bring up the widgets, then go down the list and select the Google search widget and place it on the screen where you want it. You probably either accidentally moved it onto another screen or removed from the screen.

Is this what you mean? The widgets?

Go to the play store search for Google search and then download it. You may have accidentally uninstalled it. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.googlequicksearchbox

Omg somehow I had disabled Google and so nothing related to Google was showing up (the widgets, Google discover and Gemini)
All has been resolved so thankful!!

Google has now introduced something called Gemini and the icon appeared after a recent samsung update. if you delete this or disable this icon then google search bar also vanishes. Hence enable this from your app settings and google search bar will appear

I didn't "accidentally " uninstall or remove anything. This happens every few days on its own and has been for the whole year I've had this A15. This is the worst phone I've ever had next to a Windows phone years ago. I used to love Samsung but now I need a new reliable brand
