Just bought a new unlocked Samsung A3 2017 phone and in the process of configuring it to my needs I removed the stock Samsung browser (showing planet earth in blue, i believe). I'm not overtly worried as i use Chrome but i would like use the original but cannot find it anywhere, to restore it onto the homepages.

Anyone any ideas?

Thanks

Press the three buttons at the top right or a menu button. There is a link for the manual so perhaps there's a link to the browser.

If you deleted it you will have to do a factory reset to restore it, however, if you just removed it from the home screen, you need to find it in the app drawer and drag it back to the homescreen.

It is in Google Play if you've uninstalling it so you can get away without the factory reset.

Unless you have physically uninstalled it from settings menu it will still be in your app drawer or on another of your homescreens.

As above. Open the app drawer on the bottom right of the display. It should be there then just hold it down and drag it to your home screen.

Factory reset will fix it.

I imagine so. Did search in Playstore for Samsung Internet Browser though.
