Snap Store is not shown in application menu on Ubuntu 20.04

I newly installed Ubuntu 20.04 in Lenovo i3 PC, but the Snap Store application is not shown in the application menu. When I check on Ubuntu store it is shown that the Snap Store is already installed.

snap ubuntu-store

  1. Same problem existed in my pop os. I installed the snap store from scratch, you can try the same by running the commands:

    sudo apt install snapd
sudo snap install snap-store

    Also instead of snap store you can manage packages with synaptic package manager which I personally prefer.

  2. The 'Ubuntu Software' application that you find pre-installed in your system is the Snap Store itself. Ubuntu shipped the Snap Store as the default software store application on 20.04 (source: this OMG! Ubuntu article).

    You can verify this by running the command snap-store in a Terminal window. It would launch the Ubuntu Software application.

  3. Launch the Snap Store from the terminal instead. Open the terminal and type:

    snap run snap-store

    Alternatively you can search for "snap store" in the Software app, click it to bring up the Snap Store information screen, and launch the Snap Store by clicking the   Launch   button.
