Home screen only vs Home screen and Apps screen

[notforhire]

As a rule, I use Homescreen only on my device. While piddling around today, I checked in on Homescreen and Apps screen. In my case, not all of my apps are appearing in the apps drawer. However, if I search for them, there they appear in the search field. Just me? Or has anybody else seen this?

so, the responses have been overwhelming . seriously, none of my recently added apps appear in my apps drawer. any insight? (a hard reset isn't on my radar, yet)

Can you give an example of apps that only show up in the search field?

Are there any app folders in the App Drawer?

I don't do folders in the app drawer. It looks like the last 6 apps I've added to my phone do not appear in the apps drawer when using the apps screen. When on Homescreen only, all apps are present. Odd.

Are you using Secure Folder? Make sure you didn't place any apps there.

I do not use Secure Folder. This entire thing is strange, yes. All apps appear when in Home Screen only. Some apps do not appear in the apps drawer, though I can pull them up via the search box in the apps screen...makes zero sense. Not even sure how you'd make that happen . I wouldn't even know this had happened had I not just been messing around with my phone.

I was originally going to ask if any apps were set to be hidden, but when I looked at my Galaxy A32 5G, I saw that the feature is no longer present (since I think it was replaced by Secure Folder).

before I did this, I wiped my cache partition...didn't work. turning off Navstar had no effect. turning off Home Up fixed it. after toggling that back on, the missing apps remained. problem solved (now we'll see what happens to the next app download )

There aren't any settings that I find in that module that could explain that result, certainly none of the settings that I use. It's a mystery (to me).

Definitely send feedback to the Home Up devs about this! Glad that mustang7757's suggestion worked.

of course, after going through all of this, I saw this thread on here

Missing apps in the app drawer

So, I'm noticing that lately, apps I download from the Play store are not populating in my app drawer as they should. I've checked hidden apps, the and Game Launcher, and the Secure folder and have disabled the latter 2 in attempts to troubleshoot. The weird thing is I can type the name of the...
