I was on instagram and saw a post about a Daily Weather App that sounded interesting.  I clicked on install and was sent to the "PLAY STORE". I clicked on install and then opened the app and set up.  when I hit continue it took me back to the PLAY STORE and I had to install a weather launcher.  When it finished my home screen was completely changed and my 4 pages of Apps was all on one long page.

I tried uninstalling the stupid app by  holding my finger on the Icon.  Usually the uninstall will come show up.  Unfortunately it just shows "app info" and "Widgets

I ran my PC matic antivirus and it did not find any malware.

My friend is coming later tomorrow to call SAMSUNG to see if they can help.

Anyone have any suggestions?

Is it Weather Now Launcher?

This weather app is also a Launcher. So after installed,  it became the default app instead of One UI Home.

All you have to do is,  change the default back to One UI Home.

Do this:

• Swipe Up ( from bottom or middle of screen) >

• Settings Icon >

• Apps >

• Choose Default Apps >

• Home App >

• Choose One UI Home.
