Sorry, but have to ask, what exactly did you mean "home screen disappeared"?

[DebbieLR]

It's gone. I have apps, but no home screen. I have to scroll for my phone, messages, flashlight, camera

Similar thing just happened to me this morning.  Trying to restore my home screen, so far without much luck.

After trying many things to try to fix my missing home screen, trying to move apps back to the home screen, I stumbled on the Homepage News app which was one of the apps on the screen and discovered that it was set as a default app which I do not want so I removed it as a default app ad like magic, my n9rmal home screen reappeared!!! Yay!!

I installed a new app this morning, and immediately my Home Screen setup disappeared. I held down on the new app, and it gave a choice to go back to my Android setup. I clicked on that, and my prior Home Screen re-appeared :).

I have a s24 samsung and in my settings I'm missing "Home Screen". How do I get it back?

Me too! Did you figure it out?

My sister's phone had lost her "Home Screen" option under Settings. After a lot of Googling, I looked under Settings, Apps, One UI Home and under Home Screen there was some web page, so I clicked it back to One UI Home and everything was back. Her Home Screen option was back under Settings and she had a Home Screen.

HI Everyone, 2025

I think I've found a solution for a problem I was having with my Samsung S20 FE. My navigation buttons (recent apps and home button) would disappear, leaving only the back button. This issue would only occur when I accessed the Secure Folder or Galaxy Store. As soon as I entered those apps, the home and recent apps buttons would vanish.

I tried switching to gesture mode and changing the navigation button layout in settings, but nothing worked except for a reset. After some investigation, I realized this issue started happening after I installed Airdroid, a remote desktop app for controlling other Android devices.

The fix was simple: I uninstalled Airdroid and removed the add-ons by going to Settings > Accessibility > Installed apps, then removing the add-ons.

Now, I can access the Galaxy Store and Secure Folder without the navigation buttons disappearing.

Hope this helps someone else experiencing the same issue!
