Main icons are too all too small. Home Screen My close up vision isn't very good so I need help getting through the main menu.

Home screen icons are all too small. My close up vision isn't very good so I need help getting through the main menu. Default grid choices are 6x5, and even worse 8x5. I'm looking for 4x4, or 4x6. or even 2x2.

Strangely, all the video tutorials I've found show additional choices, which would solve my problem if I had those selections. Instead all I have is 6x5 and 8x5, which results in unreadably small to my eyes.

How can I add more choices to the 2 grid choices?

If I can't make the icons bigger, I'll have to admit defeat and return the tablet.

Thanks for any help.

Bruce.

Try settings, display, screen zoom. It should just make just everything bigger, might help a little

Hi @bachastain and warm welcome 👋

Try home up within good lock app from galaxy store.

Download Goodlock > in the app find home up > turn it on > homescreen > select to desired sizes

Hi! @bachastain, welcome to the samsung members community!!

@Iminvti has made a good point.

In addition, I would suggest going to Settings > Accessibility > Vision enhancements > Scroll to size and zoom and adjusting the settings. Particularly the "screen zoom" may be handy

I have the same issue. I had my tablet S8+ all set the way I like it. Today I got the Android 15 and UI7 update and now I can no longer have the degree of control of home screen app icon sizes/spacing that I had before the update. Samsung: this is NOT an improvement nor is it making my experience smoother. I had spent a lot of effort to get the tablet appearance and functionality the way I wanted it. This update has restricted my ability to do that. Also noticed that the "full screen" setting for app operation does not work properly. I hope Samsung is aware of these issues and will provide additional update.
