The OS15 update squished all my icons together. I know how to increase size of icons, I know how to rearrange icons. But how can I specify fewer icons on a page to increase the space around them? The grid of the iPad homepage is so cram-jammed.
iPad Air 2, iPadOS 15
The Home screen App, App folder and Widgets occupy a fixed grid - the number of columns and rows being fixed for any particular model of iPad.
By example, the Home Screens of an iPad Pro with iPadOS15 installed will show a 6 column by 5 row grid without widgets - or 6x4 with widgets. This grid arrangement is otherwise not configurable.

While I can perhaps understand your frustration at having a fixed grid array, of itself, this isn’t new - but has always been a feature of iOS/iPadOS. What is new in iPadOS15.x is the ability to place widgets on the Home Screens - as opposed to being restricted to just the Today view.
As for being cramped or “over populated”, I have the opposite view. When using standard (non-zoomed) Home Screen icons with an iPad Pro, there is simply too much wasted space between icons. Personally, I’d prefer to see a greater icon density - not less! 🙂
Thank you, Lotus Pilot. The graphic designer in me is hating on the new overpopulated grid on my iPad. Your idea to submit a suggestion to AAPL is great, and I did that.
iPad OS15 how to increase space around icons?
