Why are the icon so big now? There's no way to revert it back to the size it was on One UI 5.1

This is awful, the phone looks like ***. All the icon are made for someone who needs glasses.

Please fix this! It's seriously impacting my experience with this phone.

I thought this WAS supposed to be an update and fix things. So now we need to wait for an update to fix an update.... nice...

Of course there are some changes after an Android version update, but I don't need to "wait" for any UI "fixes". One UI V6.0 is perfect on my S23 Ultra as it is. 

From a software point of view, there's a couple of things that need looking after, most notably, pixel shift, and Mobile HotSpot.. but that's it. 

Extraordinarily good battery life & smooth UI.

I've been using Nova Launcher for years, and there's no difference in the size of the Icons for me.

I'm a person who wears glasses and is also partially blind, so to me, it's plus more than a negative

Hi, I request you to please follow the below steps once and check again.

Here is the path:

Power the device off.

Press and hold the Volume Up key and the Power key.

Navigate with the Volume keys to the wipe cache partition option and press the Power key to select.

Performing a wipe cache partition removes any temporary files that may be causing an issue with the device.

Hello Helenna, I've tried doing a wipe cache partition. I do them during a big software update but it didn't change anything.

I tried playing with the settings but they are still big and I don't want to add additional rows of icons.

There's also downloading goodlock. I'm able to lower the size of the icons but it messes with the color palette of the phone and it's just not a pleasant visual experience.
