Cannot Find Google Pixel Buds Icon (reinstalled twice)

[zepking]

I have the pixel 4a 5g w/Pixel Buds) I have reinstalled the Google Pixel Buds app twice. For some reason, I can't find the icon on my phone. Even when I type in Google Pixel Buds, nothing comes up in the search on my phone. The only way for me to open the app is to goto the Google Play store and open it from there. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to get the Icon back on my phone?

Yes...its not listed in the app drawer or in the settings | apps section.

in your app drawer do you have a google apps group where all of the google apps will be in one bubble?

No...each is listed seperately...no bubbles.

The Pixel Buds app isn't a launchable app on Pixel phones. It integrates into the phone's settings menu instead. You can access it by going to Settings > Connected devices and tapping the gear icon next to your Pixel Buds. A shortcut is to swipe down from the top of the screen to expose the quick settings panel and then long-press the Bluetooth icon.
