Whenever you install a new app via Play Store, the app’s icon shows up as a shortcut on your device’s home screen, which can lead to a lot of clutter if you’ve installed many apps. Head to the Play Store settings where you’ll find a toggle option ‘Add icon to Home Screen’ – which – if toggled off disables new apps from creating a shortcut on the home screen.
With this turned off, you should no longer have icons automatically added to your home screens. Disabling this will in no way affect the app from being placed in your app drawer. If you do want to re-enable it in the future, all you need to do is follow the above steps again and merely toggle it back on.
