Samsung Note 10: Change icons - customize the look

When you launch your Samsung Note 10 for the first time, you will notice that the icons of the different apps are exceptionally large. This ensures that you can only view a few apps at a glance. We'll show you how to change that.

How to shrink the icons on your Samsung Note 10

By shrinking the icons, you make the look much more appealing and you have the ability to view more items at a glance.

1. To do this, start your smartphone as usual and long press on the home screen.
2. The settings of your home page will now open in front of you.
3. Select the option "Home screen grid" from the options that appear.
4. By default, the app icons are set to 4x5. Select 5x6 to reduce the icons to the size you are used to.
5. If this is still too big for you, then you can keep reducing the size to accommodate significantly more apps on your screen.

For whom are large icons beneficial?

It is especially useful for people who struggle with low vision if the app icons have an appropriate size. This makes it possible to navigate through the smartphone without glasses. Larger icons are also advantageous for older people or beginners, because this means fewer icons appear on a screen. This makes the operation much easier.
