iPad icons arrangement

App, App Folder and Widgets placed on a Home Screen individually occupy one or more elements of fixed grid pattern - for larger screen devices, this typically being a 4x6 icon grid. Home Screens without Widgets have an additional row - and as such for the same example with have a 5x6 icon grid.

The size of App and App Folder icons, along with their identifying text can be altered via iPad settings. However the grid - and therefore the spacing between widgets - is fixed.

The accessible settings that alter arrangement of the Home Screen grid spacing are:

• Settings > Display & Brightness > Display Zoom - Select Larger Text, Default, or for large screen models, More Space
• Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Home Screen > Use Large App Icons - select ON or OFF as required

You can't, but you can change the size of icons in Settings > Home Screen & Multitasking > Use Large App Icons.
