How to recover deleted apps on android?

[AC Question]

Hey, so I kinda foolishly deleted my emoji app from my phone and really want it back. I've seen people suggest to go to the play store > my apps > all, and that it should be there, but its not, which is weird cause I've installed and uninstalled other apps since, and they are showing up. Is there any other way of getting it back??

Find it in apps, not my apps. The Install button should say Installed. It'll install anyway. In the future, use something like App Backup & Restore to back up all your apps, then copy that folder (App_Backup_Restore) to your PC for safekeeping. (And if the "new and improved update" turns out to be new and garbage, you can always uninstall it and install the old working one.
