First time iphone user. I'm setting up my iphone 12 Pro Max.

How can I move the homescreen app icons to any area? When I drag the icon to a new position, it snaps back to an ordered row. Frustrating!

The Home screens are always ordered rows, left to right, top to bottom. You can move icons around, but they will always snap to a grid that goes left to right and top to bottom.
