How to Fix OnePlus 13 Home Screen Layout Resetting

If your OnePlus 13 keeps resetting its Home Screen layout, removing widgets, or rearranging icons on its own, it can be annoying. This issue can happen for several reasons, such as launcher glitches, system updates, or corrupted settings. Thankfully, there are simple ways to bring your layout back to normal and stop it from resetting again.

Why Your OnePlus 13 Home Screen Layout Keeps Resetting

• Launcher data or cache is corrupted.
• A software update changed layout configurations.
• The system is set to auto-optimize storage or performance.
• Third-party themes or launchers are interfering.
• Home Screen layout lock is disabled.

Lock the Home Screen Layout.

Locking your Home Screen layout prevents icons or widgets from moving, deleting, or rearranging unexpectedly. This is the best first step to keep your layout stable.

1. Touch and hold an empty space on the Home Screen, and then tap Home settings.
2. Tap Lock layout, and then toggle the switch to turn it on.

This ensures your layout remains fixed even after restarting or updating your phone.

Clear the OnePlus Launcher Cache.

A corrupted cache can cause layout glitches or make the launcher reset to default. Clearing it often restores normal behavior without deleting any of your apps.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap App management, and then select OnePlus Launcher.

Once inside, tap Storage usage, and then tap Clear cache. After that, return to your Home Screen to see if your layout is stable again.

Disable System Optimization.

OnePlus phones include optimization features that sometimes clear launcher data during maintenance. Turning them off can help preserve your Home Screen setup.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Battery.
2. Tap More settings, and then toggle off Optimized night charging and other automatic optimizations.

This prevents your device from clearing system cache or resetting layouts during overnight optimization.

Reapply Your Default Launcher.

If the layout resets after installing themes or using a custom launcher, switching back to the default OnePlus Launcher can fix the problem.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Apps.
2. Tap Default apps, and then select Home app.

Choose OnePlus Launcher as the default. Once applied, restart your device and rebuild your Home Screen layout as needed.

Update Your System Software.

Outdated software or launcher bugs can trigger layout resets. Installing the latest version ensures stability and fixes known issues.

1. Open Settings, and then tap About device.
2. Tap OxygenOS version, and then tap Check for updates.

Download and install the latest update if available, then restart your phone.

Reset Home Screen Settings.

If the issue persists, a clean reset of the Home Screen can remove hidden glitches. This will restore the default layout but can fix recurring resets.

1. Open Settings, and then tap Home settings.
2. Tap Reset Home layout, and then confirm the action.

You can then re-add your widgets and icons once the reset is complete.

Keeping your OnePlus 13 Home Screen organized is easy once you lock the layout, clear the launcher cache, and keep your software updated. After these steps, your phone should stop rearranging icons or deleting widgets on its own.
