Missing Clock app on iPhone 16 running iOS 18.6.2

A few years ago I inadvertently deleted my Clock app on my iPhone. I have not seen it reappear with any update since. I just got my iPhone 16 a couple months ago and am running iOS 18.6.2 and no "Clock" on it. When I visit the App Store and search for Clock, the page just shows only "Open", which I can do, but I can't "save" it to the home screen.

Original Title: I somehow lost my Clock, one of the staple items that comes with the operating system on my iPhone. How do I get it back?

iPhone 16, iOS 18

This would indicate the app is downloaded on your iPhone, but not appearing on the Lock Screen. Swipe all the way left on your iPhone's Home Screen to reach the App Library, then at the top search for the Clock app, and drag it back to your App Page.

Zachyy has the answer. Said to go to the App Store first to see if its listed as "open". If so, return to your iPhone and swipe all the way left until you see the app library, where the Clock will be. Press and hold the Clock icon and choose "Add to home Screen" or "Add to lock screen".
