If you're looking for a way to customize your iPhone or iPad's home screen with personalized app icons, Kindly follow the step-by-step guide on how to change app icons on your iPhone and iPad below

How to change app icons on your iPhone and iPad.

Using the Shortcuts app, you can find an image or take a picture that can replace the default icon image on any app. While being able to customize your iPhone or iPad's home screen can let your creativity flow, take note this method essentially creates a duplicate app instead of changing the original. This means you will have two icons, but you can easily hide the original in the App Library.

You can stop change any app icon on an iPhone and iPad with the same method below:



1. Open the Shortcuts app.
2. Tap on the "+" icon in the upper-right corner.
3. Choose "Add Action."
4. Search for ā€œOpen Appā€ and tap on it (tap the ā€œiā€ to favorite the action for future use).



5. Tap "Choose".
6. Select the app that you would like to change.
7. Tap on the three-dot button in the upper-right corner.
8. Tap "Add to Home Screen." You can also enter a name that can be used to open with Siri.



9. Enter a name of your choosing that will appear on the iPhone or iPad's home screen and then tap the icon to the left of it.
10. Select "Choose File," "Choose Photo" or "Take Photo" to create the new app icon.
11. Adjust the image as you wish in the frame and tap "Choose."
12. Tap "Add" and then "Done." The icon will now be added to your home screen.



There you have it. While it's technically just a bookmark that will launch the app you choose, you can hide the original and place the personalized icon you enjoy looking at anywhere on the iPhone or iPad's home screen. Go on, get creative.
