Launcher Issue

[Newps]

Stock S8+. When I install an app Android starts a new page on my launcher even though there is plenty of room on all the other 5 pages. It didn't used to do this. What is the setting that fixes this?

Have you looked at Play Store > Settings > Add Icon To Home Screen? Uncheck that option and it should stop

You might want to provide a warning about Clearing Data on the Launcher. Folks that don't know what "Clear Data" does to an app will be surprised if they clear data on their Launcher and don't realize what will happen.
