    I install WordPress 5.4 beta version for testing,
    I can’t find a Recent block icon when hovering block-editor-default-block at the bottom of Guttenberg editor.

    in add new post page, hover on the field with the message “Start writing or type / to choose a block”, in the previous version we can see recently used 3 block icons, I find it missing in the new version.

    Hi Mehul, those three inserter shortcuts are intentionally removed as of WordPress 5.4, as they were a common source of confusion for users. In particular, they were not predictable. While you note that these were for “recently used 3 block icons”, this was only sometimes true; in fact, there was a very opaque calculation of both recency and frequency of use that determined which blocks would be shown.

    For your purposes, there is still a “Most used” section of the primary block inserter that will present a selection of frequently and recently used blocks to insert.
