iOS 15 has home screen icons too far apart!

I've updated my iPad to iOS15.

My icons on the home screen are now too far apart (I keep them organised to fit one page, now they are spread across two pages!).

Is there any way to go back to "normal"?

Icon spacing IOS 15 iPad mini I updated one of my three iPads to 15. Now my Icons are messed up. Widgets are too big. Anyway possible to get the same icon spacing I had with IOS 14? Maybe Apple will restore the option to have our home screen back to the way it was before the update in the next IOS 15.2 update. Any ideas ?

Ugly layout iOS15 on iPad I upgraded my iPad 8th generation (2020) to iOS15. The layout of the home screen is extremely ugly with less distance between the icons and very large margins on the sides. How can I restore the layout of the home screen of my iPad to 5 by 4 icons like on iOS 14? Choosing large / small icons doesn’t make a difference.

13.3 update Why are the icons smaller This happens everytime I do an update. For what seems to be an arbitray reason changes are made to the UI that make using my devices more difficult. This time the app icons are half the size they were before the update. I am not exaggerating, I have an old ipad that I am using for comparison. The same update on my iphone did not change the size of the icons. I have difficulty seeing small text or objects without my reading glasses but have never needed them to see the icons on either device. So tell me, first what was the point of making this change? and second, is there an option somewhere that allows me to upsize the icons?
