Make app icons of the same size on the Apple Watch home screen

The main screen on the Apple Watch shows all the applications installed on the watch. You can view applications in grid view or list view.

In grid view (on the left), application icons on the border may be difficult to see, because they are smaller than the icons in the middle. The apps at the top and bottom in the list view (on the right) will be a bit smaller than the rest of the options.

The icons are not the same size

If Reduce Motion is enabled , the icons will be the same size, even if you move on grid view or scroll through a list. Here's how to do it!
