Ah I see. Yep I’m just talking about the most recent firmware. Yes there is only one extra “tile” on the homescreen but I guess the term “tiles” was a bit confusing here. ☺️

I understand... thank you for clearing the confusion up for me. ☺️

I honestly thought they were still called tiles too. Ya learn something new everyday! 🥳

Yep, I’m just glad the mystery has been solved as to why a particular collection may not show on the homescreen after recently accessing it. 🙏🏻🤓
