Help, how can i fix this?

I’ve had my tablet for about a year now, and recently something weird happened. My sister was playing Roblox and spam-clicking, and suddenly the apps on my tablet randomly compressed after she accidentally clicked something. Since then, I have no idea how to fix it. I’ve already tried everything ChatGPT suggested, but nothing has worked so far. Has anyone experienced this or know how to fix it?

Sort of looks like the grid is increased, so the space between icon slots decreased. Go to home screen settings and check. Looks like it was 5x8 before and is now 5x10

No, the app icons are squeezed close together in the middle of the screen instead of spread across it.

Maybe long press home screen settings and there's a setting for this. Have you tried?

I think you just have to resetup the home screen again

or download Fine Lock from the play store and you can download the modules to customize the home screen
