App icons disappearing from my Note 5

[NancySThompson]

For the last few days, when I sometimes tap the screen for my apps or when I swipe to go to the next page of apps, all the app icons will disappear from the screen. The apps are still there, because if I tap the screen, an app will open, but the icons are not visible. This is happening more and more often, already 3 times in the last 12 hours. All I can do is restart my phone. Anyone else seeing this glitch? Is this a known bug that will be fixed? Or is this more likely a problem with my phone?

I would first try a simple power down and back on (however, I doubt that is going to help). The real fix, if it's going to be an easy one, is to do a Factory Data Reset. Just be sure to save/backup everything first. Google it and you will find specific recommendations prior to doing a FDR.

Good luck.

Hello Nancy, welcome to the forums! I would try clearing cache for the Touchwiz launcher in your settings and then reboot the phone. Tell us how it goes.
