Welcome to Android Central! Or are you talking about the App Drawer icon (i.e., the icon you tap to bring up the whole app list)?

Welcome to Android Central! As I asked the OP last year, can you confirm that you're talking about the homescreen, and not the App Drawer? Is the phone in Easy Mode?

We obviously could not help you since you did not respond to our initial attempts to do so.

Well, at least we got thanked in advance.

Or maybe they had a transient ischemic attack.
