Google Pixel 4A issue

[jesunik]

Hello! I'm a Google pixel 4A user, recently I had disabled few Google apps because I was not using them.

So after doing that, my pixel started behaving abnormally for e.g. my wallpaper widget does not let me change wallpapers and whenever I add something to my home screen, it shows horizontal line.

Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

Do you recall which apps?

Yes. Google drive, Google photos and YouTube.

Yes, I tried re-enabling, but the problem still persists.

Re-enable them then reset your app preferences... then restart for good measure. Google designs their apps to work together... it's not usually a good idea to start disabling them without a little research. If you want to limit what information Google collects about you your best bet is to use a de-googled phone. An internet search will tell you more about that

If you like the overall features of Android, unfortunately you're going to have to put up with Google apps running on your phone.

Welcome to Android Central! Can you show us a screenshot of the horizontal line that appears when you try to add a shortcut to the homescreen? http://forums.androidcentral.com/ge...ide-how-post-screenshots-android-central.html

Did you try removing the widget from the homescreen, and then adding it back again?
