The launch of the new generation of Google Pixel phones has not been free of reports of performance problems and technical failures, something that in the beginning of 2020 is still happening. In this case, a peculiar bug has been found in the device’s “launcher” from the last system update that makes the icons of the installed applications disappear .

Although the latest security patch released last December has added a series of positive features to the Google-branded phones, a change to the main interface causes some applications to disappear from the mobile randomly , at least in regards to its icon, as they are still installed on the Smartphone.

Google Pixel adds a problem to the list: Icons disappear from the main screen of Google Pixel

This is what icon problems look like on Google Pixel

If a few weeks ago performance problems were mentioned in the main camera of the new Pixel 4 XL and some extra details, in this case the bug occurs on the operating system in its most recent version and includes different models such as the Google Pixel 4, Pixel 3 and even Pixel 2 XL, all with Android 10 and the December security patch installed.

The disappearing effect can be seen on the Google Pixel home screen with the icon not loading and the wallpaper shining above. Of course, the name of the applications continue to be displayed and users can run said application by simply pressing on that empty space .

Likewise, the failure is more annoying on the box of favorite applications that one configures, since there if the icon disappears, no label is seen and it gives the feeling that the App has been eliminated from the device. For those who wonder how to avoid this problem, everything seems to happen randomly, generally on icons of applications that have been recently used .

In conclusion, although it is only an aesthetic flaw on the interface, it is still something really annoying for daily use. The next software update to be released this month should correct this bug . You, have you encountered this problem on your Google Pixel?
