In the year of our Tim, two thousand and nineteen, iOS 13 graced the realm of iPhones with the Dark Mode, a boon for weary eyes seeking solace in the shadows of the night. Yet lo and behold, with the latest iOS 18 update, Apple hath extended this embrace of darkness to the app icons themselves, weaving a tapestry of nocturnal delight. Behold, the new iOS 18 bestows upon thee a plethora of Home Screen customization options, including the ability to clothe thy iPhone home screen icons in the garments of darkness. Verily, all the built-in iPhone apps and some third-party brethren now offer both Light and Dark icons to cater to thy aesthetic preferences. Should an app lack a dark visage, fear not, for thy iPhone shall swiftly conjure one into existence for thee. Proceed, dear reader, and learn of the ways to transmute the colors of thy app icons on the iOS 18 Home Screen.
Turn iPhone Home Screen Icons Dark
‘Tis a simple task to transform thy iPhone icons into shadows in iOS 18. No longer shall they bear a countenance of white, for the Dark icons have been reborn with a cloak of night, blending seamlessly with the Dark mode that enshrouds thy iPhone. Nay, thou canst make thy home screen icons dark without invoking the Dark Mode itself. Shouldst thou desire, the option of Dark icons may be embraced whilst basking in the Light mode setting.
Hark! Herein lies the method to alter the hues of thy icons in iOS 18:
- Upon thine iPhone graced with iOS 18, press and hold upon a vacant space on the Home Screen to enter the jiggling or editing mode.
- Yonder, tapeth upon Edit in the top-left corner.
- Selecteth Customize from the dropdown menu.
Aye, a panel of customization doth adorn the base of the screen. Thus, opt for the Dark choice to bestow a dusky veil upon thy iPhone home screen icons. Shouldst thou choose the Automatic path, the icons shall wax and wane in brightness, aligning with thy Light or Dark mode preference upon thy iPhone.
To accompany the dark icons, the customization panel doth boast a radiant sun icon for thee to darken the wallpaper. Additionally, thou canst enlarge thy app icons or don the Tint guise, casting a hue over all thy app icons. Take heed, for an app icon shalt not turn to darkness if the app’s creator hath not granted it a cloak of darkness within the app itself.
As the shadows embrace thy home screen icons, so doth the new iOS 18 grant thee the freedom to place thy app icons in any nook or cranny of the Home Screen. Thus, mayst thou arrange apps and widgets without fetters to an invisible grid. Yet this is not all, for a long-press upon an app icon may transform it into a widget, a delightful transmutation indeed.
‘Tis a joyous sight to behold Apple’s newfound regard for home screen customizations upon the iPhone, offering thee the chance to reshape the visage of thy Home Screen to thy heart’s desire. Speak, dear reader, and share thy thoughts on this fresh addition. Whence doth thy favor lie amidst the myriad of iOS 18 features? Pray, impart thy wisdom in the comments section.
