Can I turn off “jiggle” when editing Home Screen?

Is there a way to turn off the “jiggle” or “wiggle” of the apps when I’m editing my Home Screen?


When the apps shake around it makes it hard to read and honestly feels like it gives me motion sickness.


I just want to edit my Home Screen without the icons shaking around so much. I turned on the Reduce Motion feature, but it doesn’t really help.

iPad Pro, iPadOS 17

Am no expert in this area, and do not know of a way to turn the jiggle off.

However, you may be able to have more control of the " jiggle".


See if adjusting the "sensitivity" in Settings > Accessibility >Touch Accommodations can help.

Also: Seems it is when you touch and hold the background for at least 2 seconds that the icons all jiggle (screen edit mode). Yet if you touch an icon a menu will appear first.

All the best :-)
