Do not create new homescreen page every time a new app is installed.

Every time I install a new app from the Play Store, a new homescreen page is added for that app icon, even though there is plenty of room on my main homescreen page and also a completely empty extra page that already exists.
Please place newly installed app icons in the first available space on the main homescreen or an already existing page if the main screen has no room.

SOLUTION: Remove any app/widget from the bottom right corner of the last homescreen page to the right. New apps will always be added to the right of the last (right/bottom) icon you have on that last page to the right, so, optimally, you should put everything the most you can to the top left corner, so that you have more free space before a new page is created automatically.

It's a workaround for a dumb system.

This is not a solution,  in the least. In fact its worse: that location would become dead unusable space.

ZFlip4 and ZFold4 do the same. It's extremely annoying. I would have thought Samsung could do better given that the solution is just to write code to find the first empty spot on existing screens.

same. they only add below existing ones meaning if bottom right is full it creates a new space which is infuriating since the bottom right spot is the most accessible and therefor for me the most important spot.

Have the same problem with my A52s. You would say that after 2 year they would have been able to solve this issue?
