I just installed Ubuntu 22.04 LTS (Jammy Jellyfish development branch). As soon as I installed, I noticed that the icons present in "Show Applications" are smaller than expected (i.e. smaller than that used to be in other versions). So here it is:

As you can see here, the icons are too small and, yes, its too hard to read its name because some apps name comes in like five lines. Is there a way I can increase their size? Or do I have to stick like this?

I had the same issue. Good news is, I've found an easy fix.

I found this GNOME extension named "App Grid Tweaks". The GNOME extensions website shows that it's currently incompatible with GNOME 42, but I found that manually downloading the extension and installing it using terminal works just fine. You can get the extension from here.
If you're having compatibility issues, try downloading from the experimental branch.

After enabling the extension, you can tweak the settings to your liking.
Here are my settings:

and my results:

Hope this helps :)
