Siri App suggestions widget has the wrong icon size

The widget always shows the wrong icon size. Sometimes the icons are enlarged, and sometimes they’re even smaller than the regular app icons. It helps when I remove the widget and add it again, but I have to do this several times a day, around 8 to 10 times. It’s really annoying. I just want the Siri widget to have the same icon size as on my Home Screen. What can I do? This issue already existed on iOS 18 and still happens on iOS 26.

iPhone 16 Pro Max

That's strange. The icons look significantly larger in your screenshot than the rest of the icons. I just tested on my iPhone, and by setting the icons to large, my Siri Widget changes to look like your widget. If I change back to normal size, the icons get labels underneath, and are the same size as the rest of the icons on the home screen.


Try deleting your widget from the home screen, restart your iPhone, and add that widget again. Make sure Large Icons is disabled.


By the way. Do you have a focus profile enabled, with customized Home Screens?


Check here:

Settings > Focus > tap into your different focus profiles, and look under the item "Customise Screens"

After some research, I've found that you're not the only one experiencing the Siri Suggestions widget suddenly showing large icons. The sad thing is that there's no real solution. People are reporting that a restart fixes the problem - others are reporting that it only fixes the problem for a while, and the large icons reappear.


The only Settings that can change this is the Normal/Large icon function. Several people are also reporting that if you set the icons to Large - go out to the Home Screen and go back in and change the icons to Normal, the widget will also change.


This may be a bug..

I have no focus enabled.


Restarting the iPhone or deleting and adding the widget again helps for like an hour.


When I randomly unlock my iPhone again at some point, the icons are sometimes too large and sometimes too small. When I switch to the next home screen and then back, the icons are sometimes displayed in the correct size, but sometimes not. I then have to delete the widget and add it again. The issue has existed for at least a year. I stopped using the widget for a long time because of it. Now I want to use it again and noticed that the problem still persists.

Since the labels under your apps in the Siri Widget are not present, it may indicate that "Large Icons" is enabled.


Try long-pressing inside the Siri widget and selecting Edit Home Screen, then tap Edit in the top left corner and select Customize. Then tap the two squares in the right corner to make the icons smaller.

Yes, it seems that bug has not been fixed yet. Now I have installed the Siri Widget on my iPhone - now I will keep an eye on it myself to see if it changes, so far it has the same size as the remaining icons on the home screen. But we will see if it changes.


Otherwise, just keep your fingers crossed that it will be fixed in a later update. But I think Apple should have feedback, where they are made aware of the problem
