Did you delete it from your home screen? If so, you can bring it back by long-pressing on the home screen and selecting either a shortcut or a widget (not sure what it is that you 'deleted').

If you completely removed the Google app from your phone, you just need to go to the Play Store and download it again. Just search for 'Google' and presto! Download away.

I tried long pressing on my homescreen got nothing.

OK, you should be able to go to your Application Drawer and find the Google App. There, long press on the icon (don't let go!) and you should then be able to drag it into your homescreen.

You can't uninstall Google so it will be in your app drawer. Also Google play store. And settings.

I didn't uninstall it I just don't have the google icon. Has anyone ever done this besides me

Are you talking about the Google app icon or the Google widget?

The icon

pankaj981 right above shows you how to add it back. You go into your app drawer, long press the Google icon and drag it where you desire onto the homescreen.

Mine is a galaxy s7edge. When you say app drawer do you mean applications cause I did that and went to the google app it won't let me stay it.

I am on the S7 edge also. Can you attach a screenshot so I can better understand exactly what you are doing or trying to do?

Follow process in the gif below and you should be fine.

OK, sorry, having Easy Mode changes a lot of things. Strangely enough, however, if I move to Easy Mode, I also don't have the Google app available on the homescreen or on the 'More Apps' drawer! If I switch to Normal mode or a different launcher, it's there...but not on Easy Mode.

And selecting EDIT on Easy Mode (or tapping a + symbol on available spots) also doesn't come up with the Google App. Weird!

You can still use it by long pressing the home button (which will launch Google).

Really strange, but not sure if this happened before or not (never used Easy Mode) or if it updated now that Google Now has been replaced by Google Assistant (my phone just got the updated version last night).

What now do I do?

 

[chanchan05]

Get out of Easy Mode. Settings>Apps>3 dots on upper right>default apps>home>touchwiz home (not the easy home)
