Icons gone from tablet home page

I don't think I did, but have to concede I must have done, that is touched a setting in my Galaxy Tab 3, because two things have happened. 1) a safe mode has appeared bottom left and 2) three app icons have gone.
Via App Store, I re-installed the missing apps, only to be told they are already on my device. Should I remove them totally and start again? why have the icons gone?

I've had app icons disappear when they've updated on rare occasions. I think you mean you still have the apps installed, you just meed to add the shortcut back. If so, long press on a blank area, select add shortcut (or similar - mines not a samsung), select the app you want and drag it to the home screen0

Safe mode is probably why .0

Thanks but, is it better to surf in safe mode, albeit tablet or laptop?
One more thing, I have no idea what "rooting" means.This is a system account and does not represent a real person. To contact the Forum Team email forumteam@moneysavingexpert.com0 -
Safe mode usually means restricted OS to allow potential misbehaving apps to be fixed or removed .
ROOTING means essentially the user gaining a far higher level of system control. This allows tasks to be carried out that are normally blocked by the OS . This can be as simple as running a backup app or at a deeper level changing removing apps files folders from the actual OS system .
How to and ease of such depends upon individual product .
NEGATIVE in all cases rooting voids warranty and will often show a counter to say its been rooted , Though signs of root are usually able to be removed .0 -
