How to Change the Home Screen Grid on Pixel 11 Pro with Android 17

The Pixel 11 Pro home screen grid is a Layout choice in Wallpaper & style: long-press the Home screen, open Layout, and pick a size — Small, Medium, Large or XL. The preview shows the new grid before you apply it.

Steps

Long-press an empty spot on the Home screen

Long-press an empty area of the Home screen — not an icon — until the Home screen menu appears.

Long-press an empty spot on the Home screen

Tap Wallpaper & style

In the Home screen menu, tap Wallpaper & style at the top.

Tap Wallpaper & style

Scroll down and tap Layout

Scroll down the Wallpaper & style page until you see Layout at the bottom — it reads Medium — then tap it.

Scroll down and tap Layout

Tap Large

On the Layout page, Medium is currently selected. Tap Large — the preview switches to a three-column grid with larger icons, and Apply turns on.

Tap Large

Tap Apply

With Large selected, tap Apply at the top right. The button briefly shows a spinner while the grid is applied.

Tap Apply

Check that Layout reads Large

Back on the Wallpaper & style page, Layout now reads Large, and the Home screen preview shows the three-column grid. That is the confirmation.

Good to know

  1. Large is the third of four layouts — Small, Medium, Large, XL. Medium was the starting layout here; the preview switches from a four-column grid to a three-column grid with larger icons.
  2. This changes the home screen grid only, not the Display size: Settings > Display size & text scales everything on screen, while Layout only changes the home screen grid.
  3. The change applies as soon as you tap Apply — there is no extra save step, and the Wallpaper & style page then reads Layout: Large.
  4. The Icons row on the same page (Minimal, Circle here) is a separate setting and is not changed in this recording.
