How can I put the Visual Voice mail app on the home screen on my S22 Ultra ?

Very oddly, now, both Visual Voice apps - the green one built-in to the phone, and the purple one from the Play store that I just downloaded, are showing in my Android app list when I swipe up. And I was able to add the green app to my home screen, and uninstall the Play store version.

I have no idea what changed on my phone in the last 19 hours since I posted that fixed it. Either it's a setting on the phone I changed, or some update fixed it that happened during my sleep. I did not reboot the phone since I posted.

I wish I knew what had fixed it.

A number of other built-in apps that can’t be uninstalled still suffer from the same issue, for example, Bixby vision .

This time, I made a screenshot showing the problem, after doing a search in the app list at the top, and doing a long press on Bixby vision. The context menu shows the only option is "App info". There is no "Locate app" or "Add to home" option, as there is now for Visual Voicemail.

Bixby vision not showing up bothers me less, since I'm not using it, and don't plan to. Nevertheless, it seems to be a bug that there are some applications on this phone that don't appear anywhere in the app list, and can only be found through the search feature, which requires knowing their name, or looking through the phone's App settings to see the full list.

The same problem exists for "Bixby routines", also found in this search. There are probably others. Can anyone else reproduce this strange issue ?
