A growing number of Realme P4 5G users are reporting that several system features have disappeared following the installation of the latest software update. The build in question, RMX5110_16.0.3.521, appears to have introduced multiple functional regressions that are affecting everyday usability for owners of this mid-range device.
Users across community forums and social platforms have flagged the Realme P4 5G issues multiple times, with complaints spanning app shortcuts, wallpaper customization, lock screen behaviour, and augmented reality support. Realme has not yet issued an official statement on these reports.
App Icon Shortcuts Have Stopped Working
One of the most frequently mentioned Realme P4 5G missing features involves app icon shortcuts. These shortcuts, typically accessed by long-pressing an app icon on the home screen, allow users to quickly jump to specific in-app functions without opening the app first.
Following the Realme P4 5G update to RMX5110_16.0.3.521, multiple users report that long-pressing app icons no longer produces the shortcut menu. Instead, the device either enters icon-drag mode or shows no response at all. This is a standard Android feature and its absence has been widely noted in user feedback threads.
Live Wallpapers and Lock Screen Animations Are Not Functioning
The Realme P4 5G live wallpaper not working issue is another consistent complaint tied to this update. Users say that live wallpapers either revert to static images after being applied or fail to animate altogether on the home screen.
Alongside this, a Realme P4 5G lock screen animation issue has also surfaced. Several users report that lock screen animations that were present before the update are no longer visible, with the screen defaulting to a static display. These are features supported within Realme UI and their absence appears to be directly connected to the RMX5110_16.0.3.521 build.
Google ARCore Support Appears to Have Been Removed
Among the more technically significant Realme P4 5G issues is the apparent loss of Google ARCore support. Realme P4 5G ARCore support is required for augmented reality applications, including those used for navigation overlays, AR shopping tools, and Google’s own AR features within Maps and Search.
Users attempting to use ARCore-dependent apps after the update are encountering errors indicating that the device is no longer supported. This is a notable regression, particularly for a device that previously passed ARCore certification.
The Realme UI missing features pattern observed here — where a software update removes or disables existing functionality — has been reported on other Realme devices in the past, though the scope of the RMX5110_16.0.3.521 update’s impact appears broader than usual.
A Fix Is Expected in an Upcoming Software Build
Based on past Realme update cycles, the company typically addresses user-reported regressions within one to two subsequent builds. Users experiencing these Realme P4 5G missing features are advised to report the issues through the official Realme Community app or the feedback tool within Realme UI settings to help expedite a resolution.
No rollback option has been officially announced for the RMX5110_16.0.3.521 build at this time.
