How to disable adding new app icons on Android smartphone?
You prefer the neat Android home screen. This means that there may be several folders to save icons, not too many others.
Keeping the home screen away from the launcher’s checkerboard means you can quickly browse applications because you know where their launcher is located.
Fortunately, there is a way to prevent Android from adding icons to the home screen after installing a new application. Even better, the process of disabling this feature is very simple.
STEPS:
- Long press a blank spot on the device home screen and tap Home Settings.
- In the resulting window, tap the On/Off slider to disable Add icon to the Home screen.
- Once that slider is in the Off position, you no longer need to worry about icons being added for newly installed apps.
