I just discovered the best hack, I changed the app layout on my home screen (android) to 5x5 what a game changer.

Everyone uses something less than Xx5? Damn. Poor folks. :(

Did anyone else have to go home & count?

I'm not very clever.

I'm pretty sure the default is 4 and the vast majority of smartphone users will never even change this setting.

[–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

For sure. Poor folks dont know how bad they have it.
(Except for seniors, they probably need the bigger symbols and selection zones)

Thanks to you I changed my layout from 4x6 to 5x6 and my life will never be the same. Thank you.

The simple things in life can be so satisfying...good to hear your enjoying it too.

[–] Zahille7@lemmy.world 1 points 3 months ago

That's been my default for actual years.

[–] OhVenus_Baby@lemmy.ml 1 points 3 months ago

😂 I remember the my first time too.

Mine is like 6x8 currently... Is there any special benefit to an odd number I am missing or just the extra realestate from going to larger numbers?

[–] lidd1ejimmy@lemmy.ml 2 points 3 months ago

6 wide? Damn, I couldn't dream of that... Must be heaven. Honestly no benefit to odd numbers the bigger the better but with my screen size I can't go any bigger than 5x5

[–] NeroC_Bass@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 3 months ago

I never changed mine, cause I didnt know it could be changed. I can't go back now, Thank you for pointing it out!
