moving icons iphone 12 ios 16.3

When I move or remove an icon at the top of the page everything moves up, filling the position and changing the location of all following icons. You have muscle memory and then have to relearn where all the icons are. Is there a way to keep this from happening? lock the icon locations?

Hello CaptVideo01,


There isn't a way to necessarily lock the position of the icons on your Home Screen, but you can move and adjust them to your liking after you remove an app. Follow the guidance here to customize the Home Screen on your iPhone to your preferences: Move apps and widgets on the Home Screen on iPhone - Apple Support


Take care.
