On my a10e, recently I've noticed some of my app icons moving or changing to different spot by themselves,ideas why?
Anyone have a problem with their Galaxy a10e app icons moving by themselves?

Welcome to Android Central! Perhaps the screen is unlocking in your pocket and they could be moved around by inadvertent screen touches?
@mustang7757, isn't there a way to lock the homescreen setup on Galaxy phones so icons can't be moved by accident?

Yes, long press empty page on the stock launcher then tap home screen settings and there a toggle to switch on .

I haven't noticed this on my home screens but in my app drawer I've noticed that things move frequently. Most of my daily apps are in folders on my home screen or just on my home screen. They don't move but in my app drawer I've noticed that one particular app is constantly moving and I'm sure it's more than just that one but it's the one that caused me to notice.
I keep my drawer in ABC order. When I open the drawer the app may be on the far left today. Tomorrow it might be in the middle. The next day it might be down a whole row in the morning and by evening it's back to the far left. You would expect to see this if you were installing or uninstalling apps but I promise you I'm not. The easy thing to do would be just to take screen shots of everything in front of it when I've noticed a move then compare the differences but honestly it doesn't bother me like that. It's just weird and noticeable. Although this post has me thinking about it so I may have to now just to see and know what's happening.

It's also possible to lock the screen layout in Nova Launcher. I'm using the beta version, but that option is available in the regular version too.
