Chrome icons vanished randomly

[Android Central Question]

so i've had a whole load of google chrome shortcuts on my android phone home screen for the past two or three years, and just the other day after a simple restart, they up and *poof* vanished

please help me to get them back, i can't remember all of them off by heart and some where at certain pages.

I have a moto G8 Power updated to the most recent update

Welcome to Android Central! There were a couple of other posts about this as well. I noticed recently that a couple of Direct Dial shortcuts I had placed on the homescreen disappeared as well. I suspect it had to do with a recent Android System Webview update, or something similar. You'll probably just have to re-create the shortcuts as best as you can. In the future, make sure you Bookmark those important sites as well as create homescreen shortcuts, because the Bookmarks won't suddenly disappear.

Also consider using a 3rd party launcher like Nova, which allows you to back up your homescreen setup.
