Samsung Galaxy Note 3 Homescreens Help?

[Phandroid Omega]

Hello,

On my old phone, the HTC Evo 4G, I had the option of not having the app icons automatically populate on my homescreens when I downloaded them. I've looked but I can't find that option on the Note 3. Is there one? I've been going nuts downloading new toys to play with and they go straight to my homescreens. I don't want that. Is there a way to stop it?

Go to the Google Play store, hit the small 3 lines on the top left of your screen and go down to settings, then uncheck 'Add icon to home screen (for new apps)'

Well, don't I feel stupid! I didn't even think to check there. Or maybe I just forgot. Anyways, thank you. I appreciate it.

No problem at all, in fact, I only found that out about a week ago myself
We all have to learn when we get new devices so no need to feel stupid, have fun with your Note 3
