I’m using both OS14 stock wallpaper and sometimes custom wallpapers.
Same wallpaper both for home and lockscreen. Perspective zoom on, dark dims off.
Just updated to 14.01. All icons size are still good.
Got a tip for us?

Hmmmm maybe that’s the key...use the same wallpaper for both. I’ll try and report back.
I haven’t seen the issue since I posted several days ago. I am using the same wallpaper for home and lockscreen so perhaps that plays some role. On my iPad Mini 5, if I change wallpapers, the issue reappears immediately. A restart fixes it and remains fixed. I am on iPad OS 14.2 and did file a bug report. I only wish that I had been more methodical in trying to find a cause and effect.
Yes, I can report that using the same wallpaper for lock screen and home screen also works for me too. But it cant be Apples light/dark built in wallpapers, has to be one set from photos app. Another thing I noticed was that if I even go into the wallpaper section in settings and then exit....the icons get all screwed up. WHAT A WEIRD BUG THIS IS!
What I find weird is that there seems to be different degrees of severity of this bug. I can only replicate it by changing wallpapers but I have read that others can replicate it with different actions. It is by no means a dealbreaker since there is no effect on functionality but it is a little unsettling to have a few mini icons among the grown ups. Hopefully there will be a fix in one of the next updates.
For me it actually caused it to happen for the first time. I never noticed it with 14 version.
Even just scrolling between home screen pages left and right changes the size randomly back to normal in some icon and making some other icon smaller. Definitely some os bug.
As stated in an earlier post in this thread, if you change the wallpaper you can expect icon and widget sizes to go wonky. The easy fix for now is to reboot the iPhone or iPad after changing the wallpaper.
I never changed the wallpaper from the default and I only started having this issue after 14.01 update!
Yes it is a pain to keep restarting. This is obviously a bug, at least in iPadOS 14 (I don’t have this issue in iOS 14), and until Apple fixes it we are stuck with it. It is just cosmetic, so I expect Apple will place it in a low priority category of bugs to fix...
Seems like the icons get small like when you long press or “right click”.....even if there’s no mouse.
Yeah, I guess it may be very well somehow related to gestures, as this icons getting smaller and also LCT trackpad starting acting up usually is triggered by using gestures... Interesting that I started seeing this after 14 > 14.01 update.
I first thought my LCT is broken but like last night when trackpad and icon sizes went crazy, I noticed that trackpad was actually working but pointer was lost, so that I could swipe trackpad left and right and change home screen pages and also start programs "blindly". Doing home + power button down reset (Air 3) resolve both issues for a while.
The icon and widget resizing is covered in another thread. Basically, if you change Wallpapers on an iPad it will likely cause this resizing to occur. So after switching Wallpapers, restart the iPad.
The stacked widget is a PITA to set up. I have to chase the darn thing all over the screen when I try to drop another widget into it. But it eventually it lets me do it. The touch screen interface is really glitchy these days...
Apple's programming has become uber sloppy over the past decade and seems to be getting sloppier with each release.

At least in my case, I didn't change the wallpaper for months and the icon size bug just appeared out of nowhere.
I have never even entered Wallpapers menu and I'm getting this issue on my brand new Air 3. It started after updating to latest OS 14.01. I think in my case it is more related to using external trackpad with gestures (Air 3 + Logitech Combo Touch) because icon issue usually occur right around the same time when trackpad goes crazy (gestures get locked and/or pointer is jumping between two random icons and then eventually pointer disappear completely and trackpad stops working). Using two button reset fixes the issue for few hours.
I noticed too that even simply trying to reorder Widgets is complicated. Especially that Tips Widget refuse to move in reasonable way, only maybe one step at the time and even then it seems to want to go up when reordering others.
Yeah. I wonder how beta versions are working, because if official version acts like this???
Apple has always tried to focus on blending the functionality of technology with the beauty of art. If you are going to spend hours each day staring at a screen, that screen should be a work of art. And because we, who buy Apple products, have worked out that we would rather stare at a technological work of art than a plastic box, we are content to pay extra for the same (or often inferior) processors.
Apple’s design credo fails when all the characters in Michelangelo’s “The Last Supper“ randomly display as different sizes!

I have the same problem. Hope they will fix it soon.
