How to customize iPhone home screen

You don’t need any special tools or apps to customize your apps and widgets on your homes screen. Here’s how to create an aesthetic you’ll love.

How to change app icons on iPhone

One of the best ways to transform your iPhone home screen is by changing your app icons to match your preferred aesthetic. You can customize your app icons and widgets on your home screen by changing their color, adding a tint, making them larger or smaller, and removing the app name.

Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to your home screen and long press somewhere on the screen until your app icons start to jiggle.
  2. Tap ‘Edit’ in the upper left and choose ‘Customize.’
  3. From the menu at the bottom of the screen, choose from the options available. You can make your icons bigger, choose from a light, dark, or tinted aesthetic, and add a tint in the color of your choice.

How to customize widgets on iPhone

Widgets add personality and functionality to your home screen and enable you to access important digital information on the fly. You can customize widgets for weather, calendar, notes, or even display your favorite photos. Here’s how to do it:

  1. Go to the home screen on your iPhone.
  2. Tap and hold somewhere on the screen until the apps begin to jiggle.
  3. Tap ‘Edit’ in the upper left corner and choose ‘Add Widget.’
  4. The widgets that appear will depend on the apps you have on your iPhone. Scroll through them and choose the ones you want to display.
  5. For some apps, you can scroll through different widgets and choose your favorite.

Repeat for multiple widgets to create an aesthetic theme that matches your icons and wallpaper.

Your iPhone’s Photos app can also be part of your aesthetic! A well-organized, visually appealing photo gallery makes browsing and sharing memories even more enjoyable.
