How to restore a small clock icon on home screen that accidentally removed ?

iOS 16.4.1 (a)


I accidentally removed the clock icon from the home screen, after added back the clock widget, it is a larger clock side icon and not the small size clock icon on home screen.


How to adjust the size of the clock icon on home screen back to normal small size like picture shown below ?



Please advise.

The large icon is the Clock widget; the smaller one is the Clock App.


Apps can be removed from the home screen without being deleted. Go to the App Library (swipe left past your last home screen). From there you can touch and hold an app and slide it left back to the home screen.

Also note the Search window at the top of the App Library.


If the Clock app was deleted, see the following from Delete built-in Apple apps from your iPhone, iPad, or Apple Watch - Apple Support
