Wiggling minus sign in upper left corner of icons

Every random touch and or random movement causes all the icons to start wiggling, with the minus sign in the upper left corner visible. Is there a way to stop this from occurring? It happens 20+ times a day, and has gone beyond annoying.

iPad, iPadOS 16

Well, this behavior is not triggered by “every random touch and or random movement”.


What triggers it is touching and holding a blank section of your iPad’s Home Screen. Refrain from doing that and the behavior should stop.
