Microsoft To-Do App Question - I want only tasks when pressing the icon

I have a Galaxy S10 phone that just did an update.  When that happened, I lost an icon I somehow created to access only the task list from the  To-Do app.  I can't remember how I did it.  It seems that there was an option somewhere to create an icon (shortcut) directly to the to-do list.  How can this be done?

    Hi the_arizonan 

     

    Hope I've not misunderstood your request, but you can try the following.

     

    Open up the to do app, go to the list you want a direct link to and press the hamburger menu on the top right

     

     

    Select Add shortcut to home screen

     

    Then Ok

     

     

    Icon should now show on your home screen

      Hi HidMov 

       

      Thanks for the suggestion.  That is in fact what I recalled, but it's been many months since I've done it.  I've been successfully using the shortcut to a task list since then.  My phone (Galaxy S10) just went through an update and as soon as it was finished, the shortcut I had created through To-Do months ago, disappeared.  When I checked for the option to add a shortcut (under the hamburger icon), the option "add shortcut to home screen" was not there.  All of the others are there.   Do you have any other suggestions?  Thanks.
