Change the Colors of the Icons on Your Home Screen

Apple added another customization feature to iOS 18: the ability to quickly change the color of your app icons.

For instance, you can switch from Light to Dark mode or use any type of color you want. Here’s how:

1. Press and hold an empty space in your Home Screen until the apps jiggle.
2. Tap the Edit button in the top left corner of your screen.
3. Choose Customize.
4. Tap on Light, Dark, or Automatic at the bottom of your screen to keep the same dark or light theme as your iPhone.
5. You can also choose Tinted to change the color of the app’s icons to whatever you want.

The Dark option won’t work with every app icon yet, as many developers still need to create their dark versions. However, the Tinted option will paint all apps without exceptions.
