꩜ How to Change Icons

There are two ways to change icons, one more personalized than the other.


⭐ Download an Icon Pack

There are many apps dedicated to giving free & paid iPhone icon packs. These apps include: Themify, Color Widgets, Mico, and Photowidget. Download one of these apps and scroll through the packs until you find one you like. Then, click on it and follow the instructions to upload the pack to your phone.


⭐ Shortcuts

Firstly, you need to download Shortcuts from the App Store. Then, you need to find app icons on the internet. My personal favorite place to find icons is Pinterest. Once you have found icons of your choosing and saved them to your camera roll, follow these steps:

  1. Open Shortcuts and press the Plus (+) button on the top right of your screen

  2. Press "Add Action", search "Open App" and click on it

  3. Click the "App" next to "Open", and choose any app you want to change the icon of

  4. On the top of your screen, press the down arrow () next to Open App and press "Add to Home Screen"

  5. Press the icon and press "Choose Photo" and use any photo from your camera roll

  6. Then, change the Shortcut name to the name of the app. You can use instafonts.io to change the font you type in, and coolsymbol.com to find black and white emojis you can add to the end

  7. Press "Add" on the top right, and it's finished!

  8. Repeat for all apps you want to customize



꩜ Cute Widgets to Use

You can add a widget to your iPhone home screen by long pressing on your unlocked phone and pressing the (+) on the top left.

Here are my favorite widgets to use:


⭐ reminders ⭐ pinterest

(it can flip through the pinterest boards of your choice!)





⭐ widgetsmith + widgy

(you can choose a photo or widget template to add to your home screen)


꩜ How to have multiple layouts

Have many different moods and want a home screen that switches with you? Here's how you do it!

  1. Open your phone and pull down starting from your battery icon on the top right

  2. Find a button called "Focus" and press it

  3. Press (+) New Focus on the bottom of your screen

  4. Create a Custom focus & name it

  5. Customise the screen of your focus

Now, whenever you want to switch layouts, just pull down from the top right of your screen and press the focus layout of your choice!


꩜ ~Conclusion

These are just some basic tips out of many to customize your phone. Don't forget to customize your lock screen and phone case too! Keep creating & personalizing :)
