App icons on iPhone too small

I have vision challenges. After updating to iOS 15, I can no longer see the icons well. Changing to large doesn’t help either as “large” no longer seems to be as large as before.

iPhone 12 Pro Max, iOS 15

App Icons Won't Enlarge Anymore I was messing around with Display and Brightness settings the other day and went to switch my "Display Zoom" to Default to see what it would look like. Wasn't a fan of it so I switched back to Larger Text. When I did that everything went back to being Larger and Zoomed in, EXCEPT my App Icons. I've reset my phone multiple times and tried redoing the settings, but my app icons wont become large again. Is this a bug? Is there a fix? iPhone 11 iOS 16.6

iPhone 14 plus icons smaller again After installing update 16.6.1 my icons went back to being small to where its hard to read if at all. I have the Larger Text selected under Display Zoom but there is no difference in icon size now. THIS MUST GET FIXED

Stuck on large app icons iPad Pro 3rd gen After I upgraded to iPadOS 18, I switched on large app icons for a while. After deciding I didn't like it, I went to settings to switch back to regular size icons, but to my dismay flipping the switch does not change the icons back to normal size anymore. I've tried everything I can think of (flip the switch to large, restart iPad, flip back to normal; update to the latest version (which I have done like 3 times by now); remove all widgets (which was suggested here); wipe the iPad and restore from backup) but absolutely nothing works. I can't really find anyone with the same problem online either, so I'm at a loss...
