“via their screen gui” - didn’t even know this was possible! How? I always use the power button.
If the home screen is not locked hold the power button for two seconds and a screen menu appears.
Middle option 
Ah ok, I thought that’s what you meant when you said “by using the power button”.

See my post 49 when I also encountered the problem through a restart (though from the bootloader not the OS) instead of my usual off/on. Maybe a developer could try to see what difference that makes.
Final update. Phone was stolen last month so this is a moot point for me now. I’m on to FP4.
So we FP3 owners are on our own now… 
The problem seems worsened after the latest update (8901.4.A.0021.0). Some observations:
- not all shortcuts are equally sensitive to the issue; my Google maps shortcut “survives” most often, my internet shortcuts are almost always affected
- and the shortcuts again amidst never works the first time: usually they only ‘stick’ the second time
I have disabled the digital wellbeing app, btw.
I’m wondering what you mean, ??? You think there will be no more updates to the OS ?? I’m sure there will be ?
Fairphone have just issued an update, albeit the final, for the FP2
FreekB just meant that, since el_foz had their FP3 stolen and is replacing it with an FP4, there’s one less person in the debate.
Of course there will be updates for the FP3.
