Home Screen Customization

Speaking of customization, the Home Screen is finally getting a feature we’ve been hoping to see for years. Of course, we’re talking about the ability to place apps and widgets wherever you want.

After iOS 18, you won’t be forced to follow the same pattern from top right to bottom left. Instead, you can place an app almost anywhere you want. The grid that we know is still there, but at least you don’t have to follow it.

Another great news is that Apple will let you change the color of your apps and widgets on your Home Screen. You can choose between light and dark mode, and the icons will change accordingly — as long as the app has a dark mode icon available. 

Or, you can take it one step further and use any color you want. You can choose from a default list of colors or grab a color from your wallpaper, so it’s easier to create a matching Home Screen.
