Most recently used app list?

But there are no recents!!!
Yes, those are the apps you have recently used and will pretty much stay in that carousel until you clean it out (no need to do that). That is what you've been asking for - recent apps.
You've also asked about favorite apps and showed the Windows menu thingy - Android doesn't have that. If you are talking about apps it's the resents carousel that you do get. If you want something for websites then you can bookmark them or check your recent tabs or search history in Google. I'm not really sure at this point what you're trying to find?
 
As I've said several times those are NOT my recent apps, since there are things there I've never opened, and the ones I use most often are not in there. It's either not a recent apps, or it's broken. Also four?! That's pitiful. I have Windows set to 15. I tend to use more than 4 apps on my phone! I'll try the 3rd party app mentioned earlier after my holidays.

I'm asking for a display which shows "recent apps", this should have the most commonly used at the top. Clearly whatever my phone is doing is busted. Even if it didn't list them as most used, but just listed the last 4 opened, that would be of some use, but as I said, it's not doing that. Two of them I've never even opened once in the life of the phone.
 
It's not the launcher, it's Samsung's version of recents.
There may be other apps but I don't know of any. I've never seen what you think you want for Android, which means absolutely zero as I have no idea what might be out there.
 
The carousel is the most recent apps. It, unless you have closed any or all of them, has them starting with most recently used to least recently used. It clears when you reboot your phone.

Unless you develop your own app for this specific function there isn't much you can do. There isn't a list option for it.

The only other suggestion is to create a folder with your most used apps.

And if the 4 apps at the bottom are of no use to you then turn that off.
 
I have this on a Moto G6...
