Starting yesterday, I find that my AT&T Note 5's recent-apps list occasionally disappears--pressing the recent-apps button just shows "No recently used apps" and continues to do so no matter what apps I subsequently start. The only way I've found to restore the recent-apps function is to reboot the phone. When I do that, I can immediately once again see all the previously-listed apps that had disappeared from the list.
A web search shows this to be a widespread problem, especially in the past two weeks, across a variety of phones and carriers. Some users report that using the "OK Google" feature of Google Now seems to trigger the bug. My own occurrences of the bug have always been preceded by a recent "OK Google", but I can still use "OK Google" without difficulty most of the time, so I'm not certain that's the trigger.
