Cant find apps i downloaded anywhere in my phone

Got a new Samsung Galaxy S4 & downloaded a few games & the Facebook app but once they were installed I can't find them anywhere. Where can I find them?

Once they're installed, they're in folders you can't get to unless you're rooted. To run them, look in your app drawer.

If you mean through Playstore my friend said: "Files are downloaded and stored in subfolders under a location on your device called /data.
By default you do not have permissions to read from that location. In order to read/write in that location you will need to have rooted your device." And if you downloaded apps through the Chrome or another internet browser, you can set the download location yourself.
