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

I have the same issue on my S22 after updating to One UI 8. When I'm in the "view recent apps" state (where they aren't quite full screen size but you can see them all and swipe between all open apps) the apps will pull themselves up out of view without my touching the screen at all. Whenever I select the menu button to show recent apps, there are between zero and two apps showing, despite having just opened at least 5 apps.

Same issue - can't recall Kindle or Samsung health, asking others. Z Fold 6 on one UI 8.
PLEASE FIX THIS

So I went into developer options and turned OFF 'suspend execution for cached applications' and that seems to have fixed it.

This can reduce battery life.

Yep, it sure can. But will it be noticeable? Not likely.

I tried it, but it doesn't work. After the phone reboots, it works for a around a day, then apps stop disappearing again

Samsung is the worst. Going to sell my phone. 2 months with no fix in sight for this horrible bug

This is happening to me too and it's driving me bonkers. It is making multitasking so much more cumbersome and sometimes will even leave tiktok/Instagram audio still playing in the background with no way to force quit the app. I've tried messing with battery settings, clearing the cache, etc, but after a few hours it's starts acting up again.

S22 ultra here and it's happening to me too mainly after installing oneui8. Called the helpline but they just told me to update and then try a factory reset... Which I really CBA to do. Especially if it's not a guaranteed fix.

Doesn't seem to match the apps in the recommended for me either, and reading these comments, it seems like it's the same apps for all of us. Amazon is the biggest one that keeps coming up and that was the one I first noticed!
