I no longer have an icon to access WhatsApp. Solved

Question

Hello,
After setting up my Galaxy S9, I accidentally deleted the icon to launch WhatsApp.
And I can't find WhatsApp in the list of applications.
However, when I try to download it from the Google Play Store, the page tells me "installed."
So I'm stuck.
How can I generate a new icon or uninstall the app to reinstall it?
Thanks in advance.

Hello, Thank you also for getting involved
I found a multitude of possible downloads, but beta.
I found your version 2.20.89 but it won't download. Same when trying to install the other versions
I have PC experience. I remember removing the Internet Explorer icon several years ago. I then searched in Windows (as an administrator), found the .exe and created a shortcut from it, and it's been working like that since.
But I don't have the option to access Android here
Best regards

Hello, it happens to me when I delete an app and want to reinstall it on the Play Store to read "installed" as well. I still click on the word installed, and it works; it reinstalls, and the icon appears on the screen!!

Hello, thank you for your interest in my problem.
Unfortunately, the application is not installing. I checked the icons and in the "applications" settings. Nothing
a few days ago I tried to install WhatsApp Business. It seems that the download worked but I couldn't find anything!!
Best regards

Hello,  Download the apk here, copy it to your smartphone and try to install it.  On my smartphone, I have version 2.20.89.

I think it might be because the application software is not compatible with the mobile software. Please try updating both of them.

Hello,
Thank you for your involvement, but this issue dates back to March and has been resolved.
In fact, there must have been a bug because I couldn't download the app from the store, which told me the app was already installed. However, I had accidentally deleted it while setting up my Galaxy S9.
I was able to download it directly from the WhatsApp website without going through the store.
I thought the topic was marked as "resolved"?
Best regards
