Open Settings, Home screen, scroll down and switch off Add media page to Home screen. Swiping right from the first Home screen then no longer opens Google Discover. Switch it on again to bring it back.

Step by step
Open Home screen settings
Open Settings and tap Home screen, or touch and hold an empty part of the Home screen and tap Settings.
Find Add media page to Home screen
Scroll down. The row shows which feed is used; ours said Google Discover.
Switch it off
Tap the switch so it turns grey. The page to the left of your first Home screen disappears.
About this guide
Samsung calls the page to the left of your Home screen the media page. On our phone it was on and set to Google Discover.
The screenshots are from a Samsung Galaxy A57 5G with One UI 8.5 and Android 16. Other Galaxy phones on One UI 8 use the same menus; on older One UI versions a few names and positions differ. We only looked at these screens on our phone and changed nothing.
Good to know
Discover also sits in the Google app; turning off the media page does not remove the Google app.
Other Home screen options on the same page: how to hide apps on a Samsung Galaxy phone.
In short: Settings, Home screen, switch off Add media page to Home screen.
