This makes the icons larger, making selection easier.

Go to Settings > Home Screen & App Library > Use Large App Icons

Movement ToleranceMovement Tolerance

The movement tolerance setting determines the amount of movement the pointer can have before re-starting the dwell time. A larger area will be more forgiving, and is more appropriate to work with larger icons. For high precision, lower this setting.

Go to Settings > Accessibility > Touch > Assistive Touch

Scroll down to Dwell Control area and select “Movement Tolerance” to adjust the distance the cursor can move while dwelling
