  • @adilutedmind Hi, I don’t have much experience with Android but if you can access the game from the Play Store, does it mean that you can just start playing (without having to download the game every time)?

    If you can start just playing the game, then it would sound to me that the icon for the game is missing and the game could be found by searching the App library. There should also be a possibility to place the icon to the home screen for better accessibility.
  • That's correct. The icon disappeared. I searched my app library and there's no way for me to add the icon to my phone. I may just have to uninstall and reinstall the app. I'm just afraid I won't be able to reinstall it bc of this problem lol.

    @adilutedmind Hi, were you able to add the icon?

    I don’t recommend reinstalling the game since that might lead issues with your game progress. I’d look into the advice (google) what to do if the phone isn’t allowing to add icon to the home screen. It could be a setting that blocks it or need to update something.
