How to restore Google widget on Galaxy S5?

[blessed74]

I removed a default Google widget that came on my galaxy s5 that was on the home screen to make room for another app now I can't find it. How do I get it back?

Well, First check if you have disabled it. If you have, enable it. If not, then check to make sure the app associated with with the widget is disable/uninstalled. If it is, enable/reinstall it. If none of these work, and you just are annoyed by one missing widget, factory reset your phone

Go into your settings--apps
Then swipe all the way to disabled. And re-enable the Google apps if they are disabled. Normally when you remove a widget from the widget screen that was a pre installed widget, it disables the apps

I too noticed the Youtube widget disappeared from my home screen and the widgets menu. The application works fine--just no cool widget anymore to rotate through my latest channels.

Apparently Google removed it because no one used it!

I loved having it there as it let me know when my subscribed channels had put out a new video.
