I keep the Phone, Mail, Safari, and Settings apps in my dock on my iPhone 12 Pro Max. I moved three (Phone, Safari and Settings) and every time I try and return them back to the Dock they automatically return to the home screen. I've restarted my iPhone a couple of times and the issue is still there. Any ideas?

I restarted several times and filed the bug report and video with Apple. Thanks for the advice. I was able to do this until today.

A forum member suggested I reset Home Screen Layout in Settings. I did and these are the results. Never had this issue ever happen on any version of iOS betas. It worked fine during iOS 14 Beta 1 until yesterday. Thought Beta 2 might fix it, thought for sure resetting Home Screen Layout would resolve it. Nope. Trying to move Wallet to 2nd home screen, where it obviously doesn't want to be, sends it right back to the 1st home screen. WTF.

Gotta love betas ;)

It gets better, now widgets can't be added to home screen. Widgets can be created on the page (can't even remember if you could create a widget on widget page and move it in beta 1).

I was having this issue too. I was able to make the default apps return by removing them from the home screen to the app library and then from the app library choose "add to home screen" by pressing and holding on the icon
 
Thanks, tried what you said and I still can't get Mail (or any other app) to stay in the Dock.
 
Unfortunately this only works for the default apps: messages safari phone and music.
 
Thanks. This issue started several days into running beta 1, which was running perfectly for days (pretty sure the day before beta 2 got released it started) and I thought beta 2 might fix it. Do you think I need to go back to iOS 13 (I made an encrypted backup on my MacBook Pro before installing beta 1) or wait till beta 3 for a possible fix? Thanks again, appreciate all the advice.
