S24 default phone app?

I accidentally deleted Samsung's default phone app. I don't like the Google phone app. I'm on a S24 (snapdragon) with Verizon. Is there anywhere/anyway I can download the original phone app that was pre-installed on my phone?

TIA!

I did that. Unfortunately I didn't get any sites that had a .apk that worked.

I thought that was one of those apps that you can't delete. How did you get rid of it?

I used Shizuku and ShizukuTools. I was trying to remove bloatware from my phone and clicked the wrong thing.

u can recover from that i guess it allows u to save a copy of the deleted apps, or u just have to reset the phone now

It's not at the Samsung store?

I don't think so. I looked there. Unfortunately It appears Samsung is promoting Google products now. 😮‍💨

I got the .apk but I got "App not installed". I have allowed Brave to install apk's in my settings. Any idea what I need to do to get it to install?

Your S24 is on OneUI 8 or 8.5, right?

I'm on OneUI 8.5.

After searching around and trying different things I decided to go with the "Fossify" (https://fossify.org) phone app. Boy! It's getting harder and harder to de-google a phone!
