Cant find Spotlight search button or options for Spotlight in Settngs
Where is the Spotlight search button on iPhone SE? Also where are settings located? I tried Settings>General with no luck.
iPhone SE, iOS 16

Sorry I don’t fully understand what you are trying to say but here is my Lock Screen attached below ⬇️ :
the dots at the bottom represent how many pages you have, so if you only have 2 pages there will be 2 bots , 4 pages for 4 dots and so on…when press the dots at the bottom the spotlight menu appears:
Note: some parts of images have been removed to protect privacy

That’s unfortunate to hear.
just to be sure when swiping down from the Home Screen what happens? Please send screenshot.
Also what iOS version are you running? To check:
There is no setting for spotlight search.
by the way I understand you are curious but this way of sharing information is not the best as of restrictions applied from apple for our safety. Such as posting limits I have to wait about 15 after each post. That is why I am not able to respond Did you want to discuss another way? Please check bio from profile.

To change the order of pages
to change apps:
——-
When holding the dots the pages will go smaller to edit the pages.
But to access spotlight search just tap the dots holding for too long does another function. so in conclusion tapping the dots will access spotlight search
tapping dots:✅
holding dots:❎
Holding then tapping dots:❎

I can access from mid point of home and lock screens but I don’t have 3 dots on any of my screens. Plus I read the three dots were replaced by a Spotlight search button in iOS 16. Do you know if this is true? If your screen has the three dots would you mind posting a screenshot? Thank you for your time
Ok found the dots but when I press on them all the apps wiggle and all pages reduce in size and move to a new page. I am able to bring them back to original location thankfully. If I don’t tap on dots nothing happens. Thoughts?
Unfortunately tapping does nothing. I tried single, double and triple tapping. Really disappointed it doesn’t work and no new search button. Suggestion on where I can find settings for Spotlight? Supposed to be in Settings>General to my knowledge but not there.
If you wouldn’t mind, briefly, how do you edit the pages when they are smaller. Do you move items around on current page or move them to another page by dragging? Again I don’t want to put you out but I’m curious and learning. Thank you for your time
16.2. When I swipe down from mid point if hom or Lock Screen I get the same type of result you had in your screenshot of Spotlight. Unfortunately don’t know how to attach a screenshot to this thread. Sorry. Would love to connect if it’s not a bother to you
I can explain more if you could email me:
