Apple is finally adding an iOS home screen feature that Android has had for 15 years


For the first time, iPhone users will be able to add blank spaces to their home screen.

The icons will still be locked to a grid, like on Android, but apps will no longer automatically move to fill in empty spaces. Last week, Bloomberg revealed that even though Apple has its own AI models, the company is reportedly in talks to bring Google's Gemini to the iPhone later this year. In November 2023, the company announced RCS messaging would be coming "in 2024"-- it thus makes sense for support to be added as part of iOS 18.
