s4 4.3 update missing apps

[anon8245801]

Hello before I updated to 4.3 I had some apps hidden now that I have updated I cannot find those apps however if I go into the play store it says the app is installed how can I retrieve those apps. Also I notice with the update the option to hide applications is also gone is there another way I can hide apps because I like to hide most of the stock apps

Hide applications is still there dude. Just touch the menu hard key when you're in the app draw. As for the missing apps issue, can't help you, sorry.

Try disabling and reenabling the apps in your app manager.

You should also be able to get to any app on your phone by tapping google search and typing the name of the app.

If these dont work, uninstall the app from your app manager and reinstall it from the play store.

No, it's not there.

MrFluffbear's solution of searching Google Now works fine, though.
