How do I stop the auto-arranging of app icons on my home screen

I want the top two rows on my home screen blank as I want to see the photo on the home screen. How do I have the app icons stay where I place them, instead of them auto arranging to the top of the screen?

iPhone 11 Pro Max, iOS 14

That is not an option.


You can put a photo widget at the top of the screen and use it to display favorite photos
