How to restore Camera app on Apple Watch Series 8 after deleting it.

I was trying to use the Camera App on Apple Watch Series 8 to use as remote control to take a photo with my iPhone camera, but there was a communication issue that prevented me from doing so. I checking the Bluetooth and Wi-fi setting to make sure they were enabled, I ended up deleting the camera app from the watch. Now I cannot find the app in the App Store to reinstall it.


Any help would be very much appreciated.

Apple Watch Series 8, watchOS 11

And because the path might not be obvious…


On Watch, open App Store, scroll to the bottom, tap on Account, tap on Purchased > My Purchases, find and tap the Camera Remote app.
