@leocg Thank you! Found them....on my Windows devices (seems an oddly awkward place to put them). Also took a while to find the icon you mentioned on my mobile devices but eventually found it by turning 'other speed dials' shortcut on in Settings (off by default? Don't recall switching it off in this new installation).
same happened to me a while ago. i had lots of things saved in there, and now, it suddenly vanished.
it happened after i reinstalled my computer's operational system. i thought it was being saved on my account data or something, but appearently not
