Delete the main screen, release the space on the screen
Although not very common, direct access created with “Add to the initial screen” Because there is no space in the initial screen. In theory, this should not happen, since Android automatically creates a new initial screen if there is no space Enough to add direct access.

If you are using a third -party pitcher, try to return to the native of your Android
Finally, if you use a Third -party launcher (As a launcher Nova, the launcher report, Niagara Launcher, etc.) It is possible that this is the cause for which the direct access that are added with the option do not appear “Add to the initial screen.”
In this case, what we recommend is Back to the native launch of Androidsince it is likely that the pitcher you are using is not compatible with the function “Add to the initial screen”.
To do this, what you should do is Uninstall the pitcher Like any other application it does not uninstall. After doing it, you will have the native launcher of your phone and you can try adding direct access.
