Do you want to give your iPhone or iPad a personal touch even more? Then you can adjust the color of apps on the home screen since iOS 18 and iPados 18. For example, you can give the application a blue shade or another contrasting color.
By default, iOS or iPados will adjust all the color of the symbols when the light or dark mode is switched on, but you can go one step further. This way you can also choose to provide all app symbols and widgets with a color. We explain how this works.
Adjust apps on the home screen display
If desired, you can adjust the display of app symbols. This way you can hide the name and display the app symbols larger or with a color effect. Icons can also be automatically changed to a dark display when using dark mode.
Change color app symbols
- Put your finger on an app or widget
- Wait a few moments
- Choose ‘Apply Home screen’
- Tap at the top of ‘Change’
- Choose ‘Adjust’
You can then adjust the display for symbols at the bottom of the display. Tap ‘small’ or ‘large’ to change the size of the app symbols. You can also choose to Dark or Light to display, or automatically Have it colored with the dark mode of your device.
With the help of ‘Tinted‘You can also change the app symbols in color with a color filter. Tap ‘tinted’ and then choose a desired color. In this way you can still make the home screen personal or coordinate a color to the background.
