"App Actions" disappear from app drawer

[cbcasas]

Anybody else having issues with their app actions disappearing from their app drawer constantly? I've had issues since updating to the February patch--app actions will show up for a couple days and then disappear for days after. I've tried factory restoring and the same thing keeps happening, actions are there for a few days and then they disappear for days after. I've tried clearing the storage/cache for Google, Pixel Launcher, and Action Services to no avail. See screenshot attached to see what I mean.. Anybody have any luck getting their actions back?

Maybe give the App Actions setting a check?

Long Press on Home Screen > Home Settings > Suggestions and see if the feature is even on, maybe.

How are you getting it back?

This article covers how it works. I assume you're turning them back on manually.

I turn that off ...

I hear ya. I probably should do the same for as many times as I've even used App Actions. Maybe 3 times total... maybe.

Great idea, just too buried.

Thanks for the suggestion, I've tried that. I've even tried turning it off and clearing storage/cache of the above apps, then enabling. Nothing's working right now. Hoping it's just something that's broken but I haven't heard of anybody else with the issue.

Do the other app actions work as they should? If you long-press on an app icon do you see the list of possible actions? Or is the whole feature completely broken?
