In this post, I will walk you through on how to take pictures with your Galaxy S8 camera and use other features. New and average users don’t need to change settings to be able to take good pictures but if you are one of the people who have a little or advanced photography background, there are settings you can manipulate to take even better images. You might have one that controls what you see on your home screen and app menu also.Your Samsung Galaxy S8 has a 12-megapixel primary camera that, by default, already captures standard quality pictures. I had to change this so my games would be visible on the home screen and main app menu. It was set to only show games in the launcher as a default setting. I opened game launcher from the app menu and opened settings. I noticed that it was only game apps that were hidden(missing icons). However, in my case, the problem was simply the game launcher app. At the bottom left of this menu, you can open your apps and they will all be there with their icons.

This will show you your recently closed apps (only two or three) as well as a shortcut menu. Also, if you haven't disabled your side menu for quick access from the home screen you can place your finger on the right side of your screen and swipe left. If you go into settings and select apps, you'll see all your apps that are missing from the home screen and main app menu are still installed. I had the same problem with the exact same phone. Under “ Settings” > “ Apps & notifications” > “ App info“. Choose the app that goes missing, and ensure the app is not disabled. If you have a Samsung device, it may be called “ TouchWiz“. Looks for something related to or contains the words “ Home” or “ Launcher” (Example: Nova Launcher). The app we are looking for will differ depending on the device.

Go to “ Settings” > “ Apps & notifications” > “ App info“.

This step will reset your home screen completely and is only recommended if disappearing icons is a continuous problem. In many cases, the Home screen will refresh and the icon(s) will return. Press and hold the “ Power” button, then select “ Restart“. If you haven’t tried to restart the device yet, give that a try. I found a resolution on technipages except for me in the reset home screen launcher the app I cleared cache/data from was called "ONE UI HOME" once the app launcher worked again I then restored my home screen from the most recent backup, and everything is back in its place and working properly. Hello, not sure if you are still having this issue or not, I ran into it today myself.
