Samsung users who updated their phones to One UI 8.5 are now facing a small problem with the Home Up app. Many users wanted a cleaner and wider home screen after the update, but a feature inside Home Up is not working properly. Due of this, the Favorites bar at the bottom of the screen is still showing even after users try to remove it.

The issue started after users updated both One UI 8.5 and the Home Up module from Samsung’s Good Lock app. Usually, Home Up lets users hide the Favorites bar to make the home screen look bigger and cleaner. But now, the Favorites section stays visible for some users.

One user shared that even after updating everything, the Favorites bar did not disappear. The user wanted to use a wide home screen layout without the bottom dock showing, but the setting was not working.

The community moderator explained that the “Show Favorites” feature does not work correctly in this mode. Due to this bug, the Favorites bar remains on the home screen even when users try to hide it.

Samsung also said that this problem cannot be fixed by users right now. Reinstalling the app or changing settings may not help. The issue needs a system-level fix from Samsung itself.

The good news is that Samsung is already working on a solution. The company plans to fix the issue in the future with the One UI 9.0 update. Until then, users may need to keep the Favorites bar visible or turn off the “Use Home Screen Only” setting if they want different customization options.
