Unhide an App

[Rsnic]

Hi,

I have a Samsung Galaxy S25+ and a Samsung Galaxy Watch 6.

I am very happy with both.  A while ago, I inadvertently deleted the Fit App on my phone's app screen, BUT it is still available via the app list through Settings.

I have been trying to restore the Fit app (2025-07-00 release) to my phone's app screen-- all to no avail.  I went to Samsung website and it said to press the Turn On at the bottom of the screen for the app under Settings, App List; I also tried this on the Phone's Wearable app using Settings, App -- no Turn On there either 

Details on my watch: Samsung Galaxy Watch 6 (2P3M), Model SM-R940, One Ui ver 6.0,  software version R40XXS1BYE9, System ver 14, OS ver 5.0

Again, the Fit App appears on the watch's app list (and I can open it from there), BUT I can't figure out how to get to appear on the apps screen

Would very much appreciate your help

Thank you very much

@Rsnic On your phone:

1. Long press on a blank spot on your home screen.
2. Click the Settings gear
3. Click on "Hide apps on Home and Apps screen"
4. The hidden apps will be listed at the top. Click the little red minus (-) sign on an apps icon to unhide it.

@LongHiker ,

Thanks for the prompt reply.  

Your response does, in fact, work on my phone, BUT I realized I messed up in my post!

I need to unhide the Fit App on my watch's app screen -- sorry for my confusion

@Rsnic I don't know how to hide or unhide apps on the watch. I believe that you can only install or uninstall apps. 

If you need the app on the watch you may have to remove it from the phone and reinstall it. During reinstall it should ask about installing to the watch. 

You may be able to install it using the Play store on the phone. Open the Play store, find the Fit app. Then see if you can install it directly on the watch from there.

@LongHiker ,

Again, appreciate your reply.  Just to review (since I messed my original message, my phone has Fit app installed and is on one of it's screens.  My watch, on the other hand, only has it installed -- that is to say, it is not on the pull down apps screen, BUT is accessible by using SETTINGS, APPS, APP LIST -- this way of getting to it is a little cumbersome -- and the app works fine.

Honestly, am concerned with un-installing and then re-installing again -- some of the information to date may be lost; I was hoping there is a way much like what you described for the phone

Thanks
