Messages app

My Messages app was accidentally removed from my Mac Air 2020. I have it on my iPhone and it works fine. How do I reinstall the app on my laptop?


MacBook Air 13″, macOS 12.2

The default Apple Messages app cannot be removed from the Mac. It is not a deletable App.


If you removed it from the Dock, you can find it in the Applications folder in Finder, or in the Launchpad app, and drag it back onto the Dock.
