Number of icons in a folder?

[AC Question]

I would like to know if there is a limit of having only 4 icons in with per folder?
Also why is the limit of only 3 icons in depth. After 4 by 3 then I have to scroll left.

In regards to the above question, I should have also mentioned that it concerns a Huawei P10 Plus
running Android 7.0 Nougat.

Re: Android Nougat Number of icons in a folder?

I would also like to know something similar..

Updated my OS to Nougat running on Samsung S7 Edge.

Previously folders housed 4 icons
Now the folders house 9 icons.

Those icons become too small when 9 of them are crammed in there.
The folder only has 4 icons in them but the space being reserved is still as though it wants to accommodate 9, so it leaves blank spaces for the other 5 non-existing icons.

How can I get the folders to house only 4 icons and fill the folder with the applicable icons size?

Tap the folder. It should open up to a larger version, where the icons are normal size.
