Before customizing iOS app icons
There are some important points you need to know before customizing app icons on your iPhone home screen:
- It’s time-consuming –for each app icon you want to change, you need to create a new shortcut in the Shortcuts app, then add it to the Home screen and hide the original app. If you have a lot of apps, this could take hours.
- Custom icons do not show notification badges:Custom app icons act as a shortcut to the original app. For this reason, they don’t show red notification badges like regular apps. The only way to get these badges is to use the original app icon.
- Custom icons take longer to open:Each custom app icon is a link to the original app, which means there is a longer delay when you open each app. This is because the shortcut needs to launch and run the Shortcuts app before opening the app you actually want.
If these negatives don’t put you off, check out our guide on how to customize the iOS home screen first to find out how to change app icons.
