@yell345 Try this:

  1. Open phone settings
  2. Click on Home screen
  3. Click on Hide apps on Home and Apps screen
  4. If Clock is shown at the top under Hiden apps, click the - (minus sign) in the corner of the icon. This will unhide it.

Go to apps, select the search bar in the top right, and enter clock. If you didn't uninstall it, it'll pop up. If not, reinstall it.

Yes it will open for me and still works. My alarm went off this morning. I just can't find the widget for my homescreen.

Pinch the homescreen in from top to bottom to bring up the widget drawer. Clock widgets should be there. It is on mine. I have the S22 Ultra.

I guess I can uninstall it and then reinstall?

No. Clear cache option. You can't uninstall and reinstall a native app. If you go to apps, go to clock app, scroll down to storage, then clear cache. Hope that helps.

@yell345 It doesn't look like the Samsung Clock app is uninstallable from the UI. Did you use some sort of 3rd party utility to remove it?

Perhaps you just deleted it from the home screen?

Yes I think I just deleted it from homescreen. But now I can't find it.

@yell345 "Yes I think I just deleted it from homescreen. But now I can't find it."

Try this:

  1. Swipe up on the home screen to open the app screen.
  2. In the search bar at the top of the screen, type in Clock
  3. Once you see the Clock icon, long press on it and select Add to Home
