App icons ("shortcuts") added to home screen stop functioning after some time

- Add an app "shortcut" to the home screen (not a widget, but, as an example, a Telegram channel that you might pin to the home screen as an icon)
- After a day, the icon stops functioning.

Have seen the issue with Telegram and Hermit. Chrome and Firefox Focus web page pins and do not seem to be affected - as of now at least.
