Apple’s iOS 26 brings a refined home screen experience, giving users more control over personalization and accessibility. One of the most requested features is the ability to adjust the size of app icons.
Whether you want larger icons for better visibility or smaller ones to fit more apps on each screen, iOS 26 makes it simple. In this guide, we’ll walk you through the steps to adjust icon size on your iPhone or iPad running iOS 26.
Changing icon size can improve both functionality and usability. Larger icons are easier to see and tap, especially for those with vision difficulties. Smaller icons allow more apps per screen, reducing the need to swipe between multiple home screens. Some users also simply prefer a cleaner or denser layout.
