I used Samsung Wallet for a time then swapped to Google Wallet.
I deleted/uninstalled Samsung Wallet and would like to give it another
try.
However even the factory version has vanished from my Apps list and it
does not appear either in Galaxy apps or Play Store.

Since updates have been discontinued, they probably also no longer want
to distribute the app.  However, the articles, so far, are saying Wallet
will no longer be supported on older Samsung devices (Android 9, and
older, Galaxy S8, Note 8, or even older phones) as of March 15, 2024.
Phones not supported by Wallet are 7+ years old.  You didn't mention
what phone you have where you want to reinstall Wallet.

Samsung Pay is still there.  Pay and Pass got merged into Wallet.

You can't install that?  The app manifest might dictate your phone is
too old, so the Store could state "not supported on your phone."

Phone is A40 Android 11 last update a year ago.
I probably had good reason for uninstalling Samsung Pay/Wallet at the
time, but it puzzles my why I had it, and now I can't have it.
The reason I brought it up is that sometimes I can take the phone out of
my pocket, open it and wave it somewhere near a terminal, but sometimes
the terminal doesn't like it and sometimes it asks for my fingerprint.
Which of these occurs seems random and annoying/embarrasing if someone
else is waiting to pay.
