Chess app disappearing from home screen

I think since the new update(s) my chess app keeps disappearing from home screen, it says the app is installed but it does not show in home screen or menu and only appears when I search

I have tried to go in games app but the setting to remove games from home screen was already off

I have reinstalled multiple times

Here’s a potential reply:

Hi @Infarnum,

That sounds like an annoying issue. It might be worth trying a few additional steps to resolve the problem:

1. Check Hidden Apps: Sometimes apps can be accidentally hidden. Look for an option like "Hidden Apps" or "App Drawer Settings" in your phone's launcher settings.

2. Reset Home Screen Layout: If you're using a custom launcher, resetting the home screen layout could help. This will restore all app icons to default placements.

3. Clear Cache: Go to your phone's settings, find the chess app, and clear its cache. This might resolve any glitches caused by recent updates.

4. Launcher Settings: If you're using a third-party launcher, it may have specific settings that cause apps to not appear. Try temporarily switching back to the default launcher to see if the problem persists.

5. Permissions: Ensure the app has all necessary permissions, particularly for visibility or display on your device.

If none of these work, it might be an issue with the app itself. Consider reaching out to the app's support team with detailed information about your device and software version.

Hope this helps!
