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

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

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

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

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.
