Xperia L1 lost icons

SteveN8458 — Fri, 01 Apr 2022 09:57:00 GMT

I've had this phone for a few years, and it does all I need.

Please be patient with me, I find mobile phone setup difficult!!

However I have recently noticed an app icon has disappeared.

If I go into settings/apps, the app is listed.

So how do I get the icon back to the home screen??

When I searched online I found the manual and in that it said to tap on the APP icon (2 rows of 3 dots), but this icon is also missing!!

And to all those thinking, it could be the user! they are probably right

Thanks

Steve

But do you have the App visible among the Apps and is it missing on the HOME screen?

If it is present, try holding down the App and pay attention to the display, somewhere, at the top for example, an area with a colored background may appear with the words: Add to Home screen (or something similar).

Hi M.M

Thanks for the reply.

NO, 'APP' is not visible in the 'ALL apps'

Also not visible on the home screen, or any left or right.

Thanks

"However I have recently noticed an app icon has disappeared."

Not from the Settings MENU but among the Apps, find the one whose icon you no longer have on HOME and hold down on it, you should be able to drag it to HOME or a MENU should appear through which you can choose to have it on HOME ...

Thanks Again.

How do I get to the apps you refer to?

My understanding is that I need the 'APP' icon (2 rows of 3 dots) yes?

This is also missing.

Press on Apps (at the bottom, round icon with six dots), you will see your Apps, hold down on the one you want on HOME and, drag it to HOME or choose to have it on HOME.

Try to keep pressed in a point without icons or widgets of the HOME, the image should "shrink" and you should be able to choose Settings6della HOME from which you can also get the round icon with the six points that leads to the App. But in his absence, you should also help with a vertical slide.

When I press and hold on the home screen, it shrinks and at the bottom 6 additional icons appear

Widgets/Wallpaper/Themes/Transition/grid/settings.

Selecting settings opens a new screen,

Home settings.

List displayed:

App recommendations (off)

Auto-rotation (off)

Double-tap to sleep (off)

Enable swipe-up (on)

Icon size (default)

Icon Apperance

Show names in dock (on)

Quick add icons (off)

Automatically place icons together (on)

Remove Duplicates (on)

license

home version.

Which of these should I chose/change?

Progress

By swiping UP on the home/app screen I was able to fine the icon for the missing app.

By holding the icon across the top of the screen appeared 'add to home screen' which I did.

But I am still missing the APP (6 dots) icon missing.

Ok, but, if you have swipe-up ON you don't see the Icon (6 dots), disabile swipe-up (OFF) and Icon (6 dots) appear...
