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

Same here, started getting this issue on my S24 Ultra right after updating to one UI 8.

It happens on apps, seemingly at random

Same issue. It's driving me crazy and seriously slowing down my workflow.

I'm having the exact same problem in my S24 ultra after the one ui 8 update, what I noticed is it happens with Maps, Chatgpt, gallery, samsung internet

I tried to clearing cache, and deleted the notistar app from good lock, but still facing the issue

• Having the same problem, and it fixes temporarily only after restarting the device.

Finally found a workaround for this from reddit.

Just clear cache and force stop the affected app.

Yes but we shouldn't be required to do that every time

eventually, the same thing will happen again
