Where is the app you just downloaded on iPhone?

You may be asking yourself where is the app you just downloaded on iPhone after you recently upgraded to iOS 14. The software update offers a ton of useful features, but it can also stop recently downloaded apps from appearing on your Home Screen. You can always access your recently downloaded apps from the App Library, but you can change this in Settings.

Though Apple does not have iOS set to hide new apps from the Home Screen by default, it can be triggered if you hide an app page, etc. Luckily, you can go into home screen preferences and change your recently downloaded settings in a few simple steps so you do not have to wonder where is the app you downloaded recently.
