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