Private Space on Android 15 has an annoying glitch — but Android 15 beta 2.1 can fix it

The Android 15 logo from the Android developer website, displayed on a Pixel 8 Pro.

One of the most noteworthy upgrades in Android 15 beta 2 is the new Private Space feature. Designed for privacy and security, Private Space allows users to partition their app drawer — and secure sensitive apps behind an extra layer of authentication. Unfortunately, Google has just had to push and update to fix an annoying problem with Private Space — but only on Pixel phones.

Private Space users found that certain app icons were removed from their home screens when setting up Private Space for the first time. This is a minor problem in the grand scheme of things, but it could prove very irritating if you’re very particular about how your home screen looks.
