UI8 recent app icon

[Lowfleer]

The new ‘recent app’ icon (two circles) on the Apps screen is clutter I don’t need. Please add a toggle to hide or move it.”

@Lowfleer That is the only way that you can see and close active apps on the watch. Other than rebooting the watch.

That's not new - it's always been there - on every watch.  It's not clutter, it's essential, which is why it's situated at the top of the apps and cannot be moved or removed.

It's always been there but since update to UI8 it can't be moved. I was quite happy with where it was. Now the update I've had to rearrange all my app icons. Not a disaster but definitely an inconvenience. I really hope they don't decide to put the Bixby icon next to it. BTW. I got an email telling me I've been promoted to 'constellation.' I've no idea what that means. If you could enlighten me I'd much obliged. Thanks.

It has never been able to be moved the way the other icons could, as far as I know, I never tried as I don't see anything wrong with it being right at the top. IMO, that's exactly where it belongs.

As far as being promoted to constellation, the ranks mean absolutely nothing. It's just an indicator of how active a participant has been in the community.

Hi Nullandvoid,

Thanks for the explanation of constellation. Perhaps you have a more recent version than my watch5 but no matter it's there now whether I like it or not and that's that. Thanks again for your help.
Cheers

I've had a watch 2, 4 and 7.  As far as I recall,  the recent apps icon has always been at the top.  I never tried to reposition it, so I am not sure it was ever able to be moved, but I'll take your word for it if you had rearranged it.
