How to move app to home page

In IOS 17 I find no way to move an application to the Home Page. Can you help?

Yes, you can. You can choose where apps get downloaded to by going to Settings>Home Screen & App LIbrary>Newly Downloaded Apps. Once the app is downloaded you can move it around on the Home pages just as you've always been able to.

Apps are automatically placed on the Home Screen. You can use the App Library to organize and search for your apps.

Only if that's what you've chosen. I have mine set to only download to the App Library. You can't move apps around in the App Library.
