On latest iOS, 9.3.1, on an iPhone 6 plus. When I do a spotlight search, sometimes I get 4 apps showing in the apps list, other times it's 6. Why?

I'd prefer 6, presume they are the last recently used apps. Is there a setting? Why does it differ?

Sometimes like this

On my 6S+ it shows 4 apps in landscape and 6 apps in portrait mode, maybe that's it. Not sure why your search bar is so tiny do.

Yeh should have said this is in portrait. Sometimes it's this small, sometimes not..

Do do you always have 4 or 6? or vary like mine please?

This just now....

I think I always have 6 in portrait, don't really use it much in portrait so can't say for sure.

What I was saying is that when I have my phone in portrait mode it's always 6 apps for me.

Your phone squeezed the landscape layout into portrait orientation. It's just a bug.

It's 6 in landscape, 4 in portrait (for default accessibility/text size settings anyway).

So in portrait it should always be 6 apps shown? So why is it a big for me and not others tho?
