I am running stock Android 11 on a Motorola device. I am trying to disable the feature that adds newly installed apps to my home screen.
I read an article How to stop new apps from being added to your home screen on Android Oreo that says
> ### How to stop new apps from being added to your home screen on Android Oreo |
> 1. Navigate to your Android device’s home screen
> 2. Locate a blank section of the display and long press on it
> 3. Three options will appear. Tap on **Home Settings**
> 4. Toggle the switch off (so that it’s grayed out) next to **Add Icon to Home screen**
but the switch to "Add icon to home screen" is missing.
Can somebody help me disable the feature?
