New APPs appearing on top of my arranged Apps

I have my APPS on my ROKU television (TLC) organized in a special order of priority. Recently I noticed new or updated APPs appear on top of my organized list. I started to reorganize the APPs to correct this when it happened. Now it is happening so often, almost daily, that it is much easier to just delete the APP altogether. It may come to a point where I may delete all the APPS except for the few that I use. It's like rearranging the furniture in my house every day. It's not just my ROKU TV, it is happening to all of my ROKU devices.

 

Is there any way to improve this or fix it?

Re: New APPs appearing on top of my arranged Apps

Hi @Kieran449,

Thank you for posting here in the Roku Community!

We want to investigate further the issue of new apps appearing on your Roku TV. Can you please provide the following information?

  • Could you send us a photo of the apps that you're seeing on your Roku TV?
  • When did the issue start?

We'll wait for your response.

Thanks,
John

Roku was recently testing an auto-arrange feature on the Home Screen for select users.  Automatically places most used/preferred apps near top of screen.

See if you find a setting under Settings/Home Screen to see if this applies to you and disable it (set it to Manual).
