Need help on note 8

[Nikkita]

Hi guys, so after the recent April update, my galxay app store disappeared, my weather app gone as well, and all the bixby functions and even the bixby button stopped working, I wanna know what can I do to fix these problems, and anyone having the same issue?

Search in Settings for Galaxy Store/Apps. If you can't find the app there, it means it somehow got uninstalled. A factory reset would probably fix it but you could also try to sideload the APK

okay, but what about bixby? all the functions and the button not working for me🙁

Same for Bixby. Search it in Settings as well.

cannot be find in search..... both bixby and Galaxy app... so my only option is to factory reset?

The only other thing I can think of is IF you are able to download the Galaxy Store from apk mirror (if it's available there) and more importantly IF you can successfully install the apk for the Galaxy Store... Normally you can't install system app apks - But if it was me - I'd backup my device with Smart Switch - Move everything that you need or want from the internal storage to your external sd card or computer & Factory Reset... But that's what I would do.

Nah try what Shaggyskunk1 suggested before doing a FR. APKMirror, search for the latest Galaxy Store APK, download and install and see if it works. Otherwise you may have no choice but to FR

I just updated my Note 8 with April security patch. I haven't experienced any strange bugs yet. I don't have 2 night mode QS tiles, no missing apps and Bixby works so far.

It should be noted that this is coming from a clean install of Pie and pre/post cache wipe with the April update. Carrier is Telus.
