Please tell us some basic information before asking for help:
Model Name: ROG Phone 5 classic (16GB RAM 256 GB storage)
Firmware Version: Android 11
Rooted or not: Not rooted
Frequency of Occurrence: all the time when after I already had plenty of apps, I only have 2 pages on home screen
APP Name & APP Version (If your issue relates to the app):
In addition to information above, please also provide as much details as you can, e.g., using scenario, what troubleshooting you've already done, screenshot, etc.
Hi all, I'm a new owner of an ROG Phone 5 (bought July 25,2021), and I've been having an issue with my new downloaded apps (whether from Google Playstore, or not Google Playstore) not showing up on the home screen anymore.

The apps if I remembered correctly used to show up on the home screen, although the apps do show up in the screen where you have to slide up to see, and search all the downloaded apps.

I've already set the preferences to "add app icons to home screen", but I still need to add them to the home screen. Thanks in advance.

Hi, thanks for helping. Is there a way to make the new downloaded apps to appear on the "first home screen"? I'm ok with a using a 3rd party app for it if that's the only way. Thanks.
