HyperOS 2 brings ultimate home screen makeover with new layouts

Xiaomi phone users would have explored every segment of the HyperOS 2 upgrade, but have you tried new home screen layouts? The useful feature for your device gives you more control on how apps should be arranged on the home screen.

Home screen layout on a device means the arrangement of icons, widgets, and other UI elements on the main screen. It is the primary interface that should remain clutter-free for easy access to apps, information, and other features.

Earlier, HyperOS had limited home screen layouts like standard and dense. These styles were quite good, but they didn’t offer much scope to personalize the home screen as per your liking.

The company has now introduced more home screen layouts with the new HyperOS 2.0 version. These are 4 x 6, 4 x 7, and 5 x 9. All these styles are useful.

• 4 x 6: This option shows four apps on the home screen with a Google search bar and the app vault.
• 4 x 7: Here, users can access up to eight apps on the home screen without opening the app drawer.
• 5 x 9: This style lets you organize nearly 15 apps. It has more space than the above two options. It is perfect for users who run a lot of apps daily.

To access the new home screen layouts on your Xiaomi device, make sure it is running the latest version. The company is rolling out new HyperOS updates for its eligible devices. If it hasn’t reached you yet, wait patiently.

Long press on the home screen and tap on Settings in the upper right corner. Select the “More” option and click on Home screen layout to choose your preference.
