    Question how can i get whatsapp or signal calls to appear on the home screen?

    sorry, i don't know where to post this question...i switched from a galaxy S21 to S24. and now if someone calls me on whatsapp or signal, the call is buried. it doesn't show on my homescreen. i have to find it. is there a notification setting somewhere i need to change? thank you!!

    stupid question regarding vibrate profile

    thank you. i just did this...tried a couple of different settings (short, medium), and it still barely registers when i choose vibrate for my profile. i barely feel it...not because of the intensity but because it's so brief. it vibrates for a fraction of a fraction of a second.

    stupid question regarding vibrate profile

    i switched from an S21 to S24. on my S21, when i switched from sound or mute to vibrate i felt a long vibration. on the new S24 it's like a tiny grunt like the briefest of vibrates....otherwise the vibration works fine. is there a setting somewhere for that? thank you!

    where can i find the phone app icon?

    i wonder if there were two "phone" apps on my previous galaxy S21 and i chose to hide one then. my settings transfered when i installed nova on the new S24.

    found the culprit. under nova settings was an option to hide specific apps from the app drawer and phone was selected. thank you!

    where can i find the phone app icon?

    i just switched from an unlocked US S21 to S24. and when i clicked on the phone icon on my home screen it asked me to switch default phone apps. i realized then that there was a newer phone app on the newer phone. i am happy to use the newer app. but there is no icon for it in my app drawer...
