app/Http/Controllers/Auth/LoginController.php

public function showLoginForm()
{
    if(!session()->has('url.intended'))
    {
        session(['url.intended' => url()->previous()]);
    }
    return view('auth.login');
}

In this method, We have to add __contruct() method in redirect previous url or page inside LoginController.

$this->redirectTo = url()->previous();

public function __construct()
{
    $this->middleware('guest')->except('logout');
    $this->redirectTo = url()->previous();
}
