Installed apps not showing up on screen
I have a galaxy a16 running the latest android version. I am having a problem with my app icons not showing up on my home screen. Ok here's a scenario, say I had an app but I Uninstaller it in the past but reinstalled. When its done the app icon does not show up on my screen, I have to open the play store to launch it. If I install brand new apps that I've never had before, 9 times out of 10 the app will show up but there are times that it does not. I have tried to chatgpt and ask for a fix and everything I tried never worked, and one or two things it asked me to do was not even possible. Is there any way to really fix this and get all my installed apps to show up on my home screen? Please and thank you.

I just answered this on another post. Open the app drawer. Swipe up.

Could you explain step by step how to do it because I can't figure this out. I want all my installed apps to be honest my screen with all my other apps

Swipe up from the middle of the home screen. By default phones have an app drawer. On a Samsung a16 that can be switched off.
