Accidental Home Screen Editing

Is there a way to turn this off yet? I’ve nearly deleted Apps so many times recently because this seems so much more sensitive than it ever was. My Home Scrren is often full of dancing app icons… is there not anything that disables this useless function or at least put it more under my

control rather than the phone’s? (And no: clicking the screen off doesn’t help because it goes into edit mode when I’m holding the phone and actually using it!)

Sadly, this doesn’t seem to change anything. Apple take note: a separate edit Home Screen button and ability to turn it off altogether from touching the screen would be better.
