3x3 folders on iPad

Any particular reason why you prefer 3x3? IMHO, even 4x4 is insufficient and leaves the iPad screen underutilized.
Oh, there are several reasons:
- I have the same order of the folders on my iPhone. Before iOS 9 the order of the icons in the folder where equal. Now they different which is not a good user experience for me.
- Also for esthetics I prefer 3x3 over 4x4, because the icons are bigger in the folder preview and 3x3 is more clearer in the overview.
- I don't have many icons in most folders. e.G. in my social networking folder I have only 3 apps. With 3x3 that looks really nice, but with 4x4 the folder looks like an empty desert.
I thought I was the only one who didn't like it.
When you browse a folder, it looks great. But the actual folder icon itself has too much padding, which is why it doesn't look good.
And yeah, the idea that people have even 16 third-party apps to stuff in one is absurd.

They haven't provided a flag like that before (and really many more important things are lacking options that Apple could provide), so unfortunately more than likely it won't happen.Oh, there are several reasons:
I hope Apple give us an flag to switch that. Global or for each directory.

Hey Jessica,
I'm glad to hear that. You should write that to apple. There is a chance that they give us 3x3 back if enough people are complaining:

Yes, 4x4 is insane!
Why go inside the folders in the first place? I almost never do, I just pull down for Spotlight and enter the first one or two letters of the app. For the most part, I don't even remember where they are...
Because we use our iPad different. I don't have (and need) 1.000 Apps. All my apps are well sorted at the first screen.

I shouldn't have asked. Now I miss 3x3
