Google Pixel Launcher to get 5×6 and 6×6 App grid options: Report

Google’s Pixel Launcher could get two new App grid options in the future. A new report indicates that Google is considering adding 5×6 and 6×6 App grid layouts in Pixel Launcher to uplevel the customization.

Presently, 5 App grid layouts available in Google Pixel Launcher; 5×5, 4×5, 4×4, 3×3, and 2×2. The addition of 2 more layouts will benefit users who love having up to 36 app icons (via 6×6 grid) on a single page on the home screen.

Not only apps, but the home screen would allow using more widgets and icons together through new App grids. The forthcoming options would reduce the size of app icons for the arrangement of additional icons in the same space.

Several Pixel users filed requests on Google Issue Tracker, demanding the addition of 6×5 and 6×6 grid layouts. One of those requests was detected on the radar of a Google developer, who forwarded it to the development team.

• We have passed the “Enhanced App Grid Customization feature” on to the product team for consideration for future work.

The official has only forwarded the feature request to the development team. It would take weeks or months to come into effect, however, we expect Google to roll out this change with the next major Android release.
