Xiaomi: Change the Display Size on Your Home Screen

If text and icons on your Xiaomi phone look too small or too cramped, the Display size setting is usually the cause. It scales both the interface and the font size together, which can push app shortcuts around on your home screen until you rearrange them.

Change Display Size auf Xiaomi

The Display size setting on Xiaomi phones controls how large system elements appear on screen, including menus, icons, and text. It is different from a font-only setting because it scales the entire interface, not just letters. This is why changing it can also shift where app shortcuts sit on your home screen.

You find this option under Accessibility rather than under Display settings, since it is grouped with tools meant to improve readability. Increasing the display size makes everything easier to read but fits fewer apps and widgets on screen at once. Decreasing it fits more content but can make small icons and text harder to tap accurately.

To change it, follow this path:

Tap on SettingsTap on Additional settingsTap on AccessibilityTap on VisionTap on Display sizeSet the Display sizeTap on Save

After saving, check your home screen. Shortcuts that no longer fit the new layout are not deleted, they simply move to a new position or a new page, and you can drag them back into your preferred spots.

If only the text feels too small but the layout looks fine, a separate font size setting nearby is usually the better fix instead of changing the display size.

Frequently asked questions

No. Apps and shortcuts are never removed. They only shift position because the larger or smaller interface changes how many icons fit per row, so you may need to drag some back into place.
