How to Change Icons Size on Android Smartphone

A great positive about Android is its flexibility to various things. The design and looks of a smartphone display can play a major role in how it looks and works. In this article, you will read how the size of app icons can be changed on your phone.

Different manufacturers give different Settings options to customize the display. Three methods have been discussed below on how to resize app icons. The first method is for Samsung phone users as they have the easiest in-built feature to change icon size.

How to resize icons on Samsung phones.

  • Unlock your phone and reach the home screen.
  • Long press on a blank area and wait for the menu to pop up at the bottom.
  • Select Settings and tap on the Home screen grid from the list.
  • Adjust the number of icons that can appear on the home page.
  • Save the changes and come back to the home screen.
  • Select the Apps screen grid from the options given below (e.g., 4×6, 5×5).
  • Tap on Save after resizing.
  • Your icons will be in the size respective to the grid settings which you saved before.

While this is how app icons can be resized on Samsung smartphones, other phones also have the option to change icon size. The default icon size can be enlarged or shrunk according to the user’s choice. Follow the steps given below to do so.

Resize icons using Display Settings on Android.

  • Unlock your smartphone and launch the Settings app.
  • Scroll down and tap on Display inside Settings.
  • Choose Advanced to access more options.
  • Select Display size from the list of options.
  • Use the slider inside the Display size window to enlarge or to do the opposite.
  • Return back to your home screen and find the icons resized.
