1482886 2021-12-14 21:48:00 I have my Vaccine Passport on my Home Screen and 'Locked' my home screen to prevent it from moving to some where else.

But, somehow, it stays there for only a few days and then moved to another page. I have tried moving it back to my Home Screen and locked it again, but it won't last long.

I have the latest Android updates for my Samsung A72.

How can I lock it permanently ?

1482887 2021-12-14 21:53:00 Do you have Google Pay installed? If so it should stay, otherwise they're rolling an update out shortly the_bogan (9949)
1482888 2021-12-14 22:48:00 Had that problem on Samsung Android ,app would disappear from home screen the next day

This is a problem for some Samsung phones

Fix I did was create a folder(move Covid app over the top of another app) this creates a folder just rename like I did Covid app this will make it stay on the lock screen in the folder

1482889 2021-12-14 22:59:00 I saved mine as a picture, then went to it in Gallery and from there saved it to my Lock screen.

Seems to work for a day or two, then I got rid of it coz I'm very anti-people/shops/traffic/other drivers, left-wingers and other ******s in general and don't go out enough.

Looks, I am not alone...

1482891 2021-12-14 23:56:00 The Google Pay method works just fine on my Android phone. Just have a shortcut on the home screen to access it if and when required. CliveM (6007)

For me, it disappeared after a couple of days even if I didn't restart my phone (phone hasn't been restarted for a few weeks now) ever since I installed google pay it has stayed (been 10 days there). Now that I've said that, it'll probably disappear just before I try to get into the pub after work
