I had probably 8-10 Google-related shortcuts on my home screens (Traffic, News, Sports, Weather, etc) and they all disappeared after the Android 13/OneUI5 update. Anyone else experience this? I can go back and recreate them manually I suppose but not sure how to go about that. Would prefer to restore from backup but not sure if that is an option. Thoughts?

Were these Chrome shortcuts, or Google shortcuts (like how you can create a homescreen shortcut from within the Weather screen)?

These were Google shortcuts. The Google app normally asks if you want to add to your homescreen after a search but that prompt no longer appears when doing searches for those previously created shortcuts.
