Apps not showing when downloaded

A few days ago I changed some setting and since then when I download any app it doesn’t appear directly on the home screen, I have to add it from the app library. I can’t remember what that setting was though.. any ideas?

my apps download but are hidden When I download a new app it is no longer showing up on my home screen but when I swipe left and search for it, it is there and works fine but why are they not appearing on my home screen?

Apps not visible can anyone tell me why my apps are sometimes not visible and I can’t access them. I feel there must be some setting that is hiding them. I have scrolled through the home screen as one respondent suggested but they are not there. Yet they are listed when I go into Settings although I can’t open them. This is causing me and my 5 year old son no end of angst! Thanks

Apps not showing New apps that I downloaded weren’t showing up on my home screens. I discovered under settings that the option was chosen that new apps only went to the library. I changed that, but how do I get all of those apps to show up on my Home Screen?
