TECH iPhone Question - Set Home Screen start Panel

[Kris Gandillon]

I was exploring some options on my iPhone.

One option was to set any of my 7 iPhone panels as the default Home Screen.

Now, a few days later, I want to change it back but cannot remember WHERE that setting lives.

Any iPhone users understand what I am talking about and where that setting is?

TIA

Thanks, I know about this method and it *is* a hammer.

The option I found I think may be new in iOS 17. Just can’t find where it was buried.

Been there more times than I can count. I learn how to do something on my IPhone and then later I try to change it back and am clueless. Then I have to refer to some 6 year old on YouTube….
Actually, that did happen with trying to put my pop up tent back into a circle, and a little kid from Asia set me straight.…

You got a backup from before your change?
from Bassman's reference (above):

"Tip: Before you begin, you might want to create an iCloud or iTunes/Finder backup to a Mac or PC. That gives you the option to restore the backup and undo a Home Screen factory settings reset later. "

Wallpaper is a separate setting on the main settimgs page.

Since we’re at it, any ideas on what to delete for iCloud storage? I know about photos already….

Why would anyone put anything in any cloud?

The Iphone, IPad backs up different kinds of data in ICloud storage. There is nothing there that is necessarily sensitive. You only get 5GB for BACKUPS, PHOTOS, etc.
