Here’s how it works. Light, Dark, or custom tint To change the appearance of an icon, start with a long press on your home screen in an area where there is no app icon for a couple of seconds.

Are you looking to personalize your iPhone's Home Screen beyond the standard layout? Changing app icons is a creative way to customize your device's appearance and make it uniquely yours.

It also let you turn your home screen apps into widgets and resize those widgets with ease. Before iOS 18, you'd have to delete a widget if you didn't like its size.

If you've always wanted big, label-less icons on your home screen, iOS 18 finally makes your wish come true.
