As of today, almost all of my Shortcuts on the Homescreen and in the Drawer have disappeared (On my Samsung smartphone)
The apps themselves are still installed and can be started via Settings--->Apps--->Open.
But I want to see them on the Homescreen and in the Drawer.
Bug reports from many other users say that this is due to the Android 12 update from 14.09.2022.
Does this only apply to Samsung smartphones?
Or is this a problem of the Apex Launcher?
How do I get the shortcuts to show up again?
Is really clearing cache and data of Apex Launcher as described in the post just above from user SOFO888 the only solution?
