In reply to Don Morrison. Hi Don, iPadOS doesn't appear to allow you to change the number of icons per line other than the options for "More" or "Bigger" You can try resetting your home screen layout and then see if you are able to manipulate it to your liking via Settings > General > Reset > Reset Home Screen Layout. It's a great new feature idea to customize your home screen! Consider sending your ideas to Apple's iPad feedback site. I'm sure a lot of other readers and users out there would also love to customize their home screens further! Liz

how can I get app icons on the home screen to stay where I position them instead of automatically filling in spaces and arranging themselves in lines of five. Problem – – – on the Ipad home screen, I have a picture with three people in it. Icons block out two of the faces. Any way to turn off the “automatic rearranging” feature so that I can leave blank spaces where the faces are. In other words, have the icons stick wherever on the screen I position them!

Thanks, Don Morrison

In reply to Peter Wilson. Hi Peter, Yes, Apple moved this to its own category in the Settings app. So instead of finding it in your display settings, it's now on its own under Settings > Home Screen & Dock.

I am using iPad Pro 2019 with iOS 13.3
In Settings >Display and brightness – there is no “Home Screen Layout” available and therefore no
More and Bigger for selection. Was it moved with 10s 13.3 ?
Where can I now find the “home Screen Layout” in Settings ?

In reply to Roy stock.

Hi Roy,

Swipe up on the area with Todays View and tap the Edit button–toggle on Keep on Home Screen and then choose which widgets you want to show by pressing the green plus (+) sign.

If it’s showing something you don’t want, tap the red minus (-) sign.

Hope that works.

Liz

Why is there now a space where my todays view was on my home screen

Having to shift to six icons in the row (landscape, more) is a real pain as I’m struggling to find things.

I really wish I could have five and each icon a bit larger, with the today view a bit smaller.

I love the idea of the today view but the icons are now far too small I think.

Surely it wouldn’t have been too hard to give us more control over icon sizing?
