How to Change the Home Screen Grid on Samsung Galaxy A57 with One UI 8.5

Press and hold an empty area on the Home screen

Press and hold an empty patch of the Home screen — the mustard wallpaper at the top, away from any icon — until the Home screen options appear.

Tap Settings

In the Home screen options bar at the bottom, tap Settings (the gear icon on the right).

Tap Home screen grid

On the Home screen settings page, tap Home screen grid. It currently reads 5X6.

Select 4x6

On the Home screen grid page, tap 4x6 on the left. The preview shows the roomier layout; 5x6 is still selected until you tap.

Tap Done

With 4x6 selected, tap Done at the bottom right to apply the new grid.

Check the Home screen with the new grid

You are back on the Home screen, now using the 4x6 grid. The apps sit in the same places, with more space around them.
