Will "Featured Apps" update based on usage

[kerbylane]

I've had my GW 8 for a few days. One thing that doesn't seem to be working is the set of Featured Apps in the App Drawer. It's present. But it's not updating based on what I'm using. The only time it changed was after I added an app. In that case the new app was added to that set. But the 2 main apps I use, Spotify and S Health, aren't in it still. 

Does anyone know if it takes a predetermined number of days to observe app use to update the set?

It updates on my Galaxy Watch Ultra. These are the apps you use by visiting the apps screen and opening them from there.

Yeah, it's just not updating for me. Well, that's not entirely true. The Google Wallet app finally moved up there after having used it 2-3 times. But I have not used the Home app ever on this watch, and hardly at all on my last watch. But it is still shown in the set of Featured Apps. Meanwhile Spotify and Health, which I use every day, are not in it.

Today I realized that my App Drawer organization (all my groupings, and moving apps around) had disappeared. BUT the Featured Apps section has finally been updated.

Here's the thread where I mentioned the app drawer organization being lost:

I just opened up my App Drawer to find everything reset. All of the groups I had created are gone. None of the individual apps are where they should be.

Has anyone else encountered this?

I just noticed that when this happened the Featured Apps section finally updated. In this post I reported that it was not updating: https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Galaxy-Watch/Will-quot-Featured-Apps-quot-update-based-on-usage/...

I encountered the same problem this morning on my Watch 8. I don't think it is related to Featured Apps as I don't have it enabled on my watch.
