Apps Disappearing from Recent Apps Screen After One UI 8 Update

[Wilyrrc]

After updating my Galaxy S24 Ultra to One UI 8 (Android 16), I've noticed that some apps occasionally disappear from the Recent Apps screen, even though they are still running in the background.

For example, if I open the Amazon app and then exit it, it sometimes doesn't appear in the Recents view, but when I open it again from the home screen, it resumes exactly where I left off.

This happens with multiple apps, not just Amazon. If I go to the app settings and force stop the app, then open it again, it appears normally in the Recents screen - but later, the issue comes back.

So the app stays active in memory, but it's not shown visually in the Recent Apps list.

Device: Galaxy S24 Ultra

One UI Version: 8.0

Android Version: 16

Try clearing cache for One UI Home. You can do that under settings > apps. Find One UI Home and go to "storage" to clear cache.

I already did it, I restarted the phone too, then after a day or two it does it again, that didn't happen before

Did you wipe the cache partition in recovery after the update?

[Wilyrrc]

Yes, I did it

[Mujibar]

Have you closed all recent apps to see if that resets anything?

[Wilyrrc]

Yes I did it too 😬

Well, dang. I'm not sure what else to suggest.

Thanks for the help, I don't know what else to do either lol

You're welcome. Someone else may have another idea.
