If the text names beneath your iPad icons vanished or you want a cleaner look without titles, you can switch them easily. I’ll show you how to show or hide app labels on your iPad Home Screen in just a few taps.

1. Enter Edit Mode

Long Press Background and Tap Edit
Pressing empty wallpaper space and tapping Edit button in top-left corner

Touch and hold any empty wallpaper area on your iPad until the app icons begin to wiggle.

2. Tap Edit in Top-Left Corner

Select Customize on Edit Menu
Tapping Customize option from the drop-down menu toolbar

Tap the oval **Edit** button in the upper-left corner of the screen.

3. Select Customize

Toggle Between Small and Large App Icons
Switching between Small (with labels) and Large (minimalist without labels) icon sizes

Tap **Customize** from the menu options that slide down.

4. Select Small to Show Labels

Verify App Labels Displayed Neatly
Exiting edit mode and confirming all app titles appear cleanly beneath each icon

Tap **Small** on the bottom sheet to display text labels beneath every app icon, or choose **Large** to hide text labels completely.

Helpful Tips

Choosing Small icon size shows labels while keeping compact spacing; choosing Large removes labels for an ultra-clean appearance. For related icon adjustments, read our guide on Making App Icons Bigger on iPad or explore our Apple iPad hub.
