Blank Spaces uses two widgets to replace your home screen — a medium widget for the top half and a large widget for the bottom. Here's how to set them up.

1. Open the widgets menu

Long-press on an empty area of your home screen until the apps start to jiggle. Tap the Edit button (top left), then tap Add Widget.

2. Search for “Blank” and add the widgets

Type "Blank" in the search bar. Look for the minus sign logo.

Add the medium widget (top section) and the large widget (bottom section) to your home screen. Tap the + button on each one.

3. Hide your other home screen pages

Long-press your home screen again. Tap the page dots at the bottom. Uncheck any pages you want to hide - this keeps only your Blank Spaces page visible.

4. Switch to large icon mode

On your home screen, long-press > tap Edit > Customize. Tap the large square on the right.
