Apps disappear from home screen and menu, S8+

[AC Question]

Some days ago I suddenly realised that some apps just disappeared from both the home screen and menu. I can still find the apps on the list in settings, and I can access them through the Play store.

How can I get them back?

I have been noticing the same thing. I have been using Nova launcher, which I am new to as well as the whole Android experience. I came from BlackBerry.
I thought it was just me and my in-experience..... maybe it is.
I have noticed on Nova that I can search them and then long press them, edit and put them back in the folder that I feel they should have been in. So far they have stayed. I'll be keeping an eye on this.

I asked the question, and I just realised what had happened. They were in the game launcher. I went to the game launcher's settings, and fixed it. So now they are back again.

mine wasn't a game so it wasn't in the game launcher. I'll figure it out eventually. I'm sure I'm is something similar.
