Nice big icons, but the clock has vanished. This removes 5 icon slots from the screen, but since any widgets automatically seem to shrink to their smallest possible size (see the clock, above, now taking up only 2 spots) and other app icons slide onto the screen from subsequent screens, it actually is more dense than when I had it at 5×5. I’ll make a modest change and choose 4×5: The default is 5×5, but now I can pick from 4×4, 4×5, 3×3, and even 2×2 for really big app icons. More interesting, notice the grid options.
CHANGE THE APP ICON GRID DENSITY IN ANDROID 12 Tapping on App grid and in the preview, notice that the icons have changed to be much more consistent, with a color scheme based on the image:Īs is apparent, Dropbox and Spotify don’t yet support themed icons, but hopefully they’ll get on the bandwagon soonest, now that the feature is in widespread beta (at least for us Pixel owners). We’re interested in the App grid, but I’m going to enable Themed icons, as shown above. Themed icons are really interesting and only just appeared on my Pixel phone, for apps that support it, they turn the colorful app icons into more muted icons that utilize the predominant color of the wallpaper to pick the background color. Swipe down a bit further on this screen and two very interesting features appear: Peek closely at the home wallpaper and you’ll see that the icons are small and each is quite different, showing the original graphic from each developer. You can see that I favor bold graphic designs, with my lock screen a cubist sort of design while my home screen is a fun nighttime cityscape with oversized moon, all with a purple tint.
It’s easy in Android 12 to make these changes and see how it’ll affect the app screen go into Settings, then find and tap on Wallpaper & Style. Because on the Pixel line, there is indeed a feature that lets you easily change the app icon grid density to make each and every app icon bigger! ADJUSTING ANDROID 12 HOME SCREEN SETTINGS This is all with the Google Pixel 6 Pro and if it’s not yet on your Dad’s phone, well, hopefully it’ll show up soon. Since I have to pick one of ’em, I’ll be demonstrating the Android user interface on the phone from the same company that makes the Android operating system itself: Google. Add in people running Android 11, Android 10, and even older versions and there are hundreds of possibilities for your Dad’s phone interface and user experience. The end result is that there’s not “an Android 12 interface”, there are dozens of them. Some companies then apply their own skin or layer atop Android with a UI. Unlike Apple’s uniform experience with its versions of iOS, Android is a much more diverse experience, with each release of Android appearing different and offering different features from different manufacturers.
