Android Central Question
it is like everything is squeezed together and smaller, but only 7/8th of my screen is used. I am using Launcher3 as my home screen app. It wasn't like this until after the update.
Welcome to the forums. See if the one handed mode is enabled, open the Moto app - select Moto Actions and make sure that 'swipe to shrink screen' is disabled.Moto Z Force
Is Launcher3 the stock launcher that came preinstalled or did you download it? Have you already confirmed if swiping up to the left gets you the full screen back?it is off
I moved your thread to the Z Force forum where it'll be easier getting help from other owners.Moto Z Force
i have looked at the swipe to shrink screen and it is off.
Oh, I see what you mean. I've read that after the Oreo update the grid on the stock launcher changed to 5x5, so there's an extra column. Try rearranging your icons (including the dock) to have 5 icons on each row and see if you prefer it that way.
Also, I think the command center (widget) doesn't work properly after that update.
Well, you can rearrange the icons to make them fit the new 5x5 grid or you can use a custom launcher and define the grid as you wish. One of the most popular launchers is Nova.so what should i use instead of Launcher3 and also how do i get rid of it?
