Stop Apps automatically appearing on homescreen
Depending on how your device is setup, sometimes when Apps are installed, a shortcut icon is automatically placed on your homescreens.
This can be annoying for users who want to keep their homescreens clutter-free.
To stop then, go to the Play Store and press the menu icon in the top right. Then choose Settings and untick Add icon to Home Screen
