Help Add New Apps to Home Screen?

Your Note 3 is running Android 4.x (KitKat) or 5.x (Lollipop) isn't it? Your Z Fold 4 is running version 12, yes? Don't expect your Note 3 to have the same feature set as your Fold -- there's a more than significant difference between those two models as far as hardware configurations, the operating systems, and the user interface options.
Try what @Dannydet suggested, install and configure the Nova Launcher app on your Note. Or just keep using Samsung's TouchWiz launcher, and remove the apps you don't want on the Home screen when you finish setting up your Note for your trip. Is it that much of an inconvenience? How often are you going to be installing new apps once you're done setting things up?
Hi
It isn't really much of an inconvenience at all. I just wanted to set it the way I described if the option to do so was there. It would be a convenience feature that would be nice and that would allow my phones to operate similarly. In short, I thought I should at least look to see if the option was there, then use it if it was. If not, no big deal. I'll remove the added apps as I install them. Come to think of it, I vaguely remember when moving from the Note 3 to Note 8, the Note 8 behaved differently here and I thought it was odd at the time. It was set to not put apps on the home screen. I looked on the home screen settings again; nothing there. I also looked in the general settings again. I found nothing, so, as mentioned, that option must have come about later.
