Did you know that Apple allowed you to turn your iPhone screen into a painting?! With iOS 16, you can add widgets, arrange apps as you like, and choose specific pages to display. You can also change the background, colors, effects, and even display the battery percentage! But that's not all the advantages, there are 5 secret tricks that can make using your iPhone screen easier and more fun! 😄 Get ready to explore with these surprises that Apple didn't tell you about! 🕵️♂️
Change apps icon
This feature is not known to many iPhone users, as Apple allowed application developers to add alternative icons to the official application icon, and if there are other icons available, you can find them easily by going to the settings menu within the application or preferences in the Settings application or even Through the application icon itself (press and hold on the application icon).
Create a custom app icon
The iPhone allows you to create icons or custom icons for applications on the home screen using the Shortcuts application, and because Apple did not talk about that feature or promoted it, it has become unknown to many iPhone users, and to create custom icons for applications, all you have to do is Create a new shortcut and add the “Open Application” action, then select the application, then click on the drop-down menu icon next to the shortcut name at the top or the information (i) button in the toolbar and select “Add to Home Screen”. Change the title to the name of the application, select the image you want as the application icon and press "Add". You should be aware that these steps did not replace the default icon with the custom one, but you created a separate shortcut for the application after that, move the original application from the home screen and add the application shortcut to the iPhone screen to appear with the icon that you created.
Write letters to yourself
You can rename all folders on the iPhone home screen and write a message, quote, reminder, or any other type of message every time you view the page. To do this, create a grid of folders and enter the home screen editor and label each folder as part of the message, until the entire message is complete.
Delete folder names
If you prefer a more organized home screen, you can remove all folder names and just rely on the little icons inside each folder icon to see which one is which. To do this, enter the home screen editor and replace the name of each folder with an invisible special character; Because you won't be able to delete the folder name, you can copy the code below in the brackets to remove the name of your folders

Remove app names
You can also remove all app names from your home screen, but it's not as easy as you'll find when deleting all your folder names. Instead, you should replace your existing app icons with custom ones from the Shortcuts app as described above to create a custom app icon on your home screen, but use the app's original icon instead of the custom one when adding it to your home screen. Before adding it, delete the contents of the name and press “Add” and thus you will have succeeded in deleting the names of the applications, and they will appear on the screen of your iPhone without a name.

What complication is this regarding icons? Why did Apple not allocate a suite for icons on the store itself by downloading directly and applying the command..
Nice article and I benefited from deleting the folder names, but I have a question when deleting the application name, is it possible for it to appear in the main search bar
Hi Mufleh! 😊 I'm so glad the article helped you. Regarding your question about deleting the app's name and showing in the main search bar, when you use shortcuts to remove app names and change icons, you can still find the app in the main search bar by typing its name. Don't worry, removing the app's name from your screen will not affect its functionality or the ability to find it in the search bar. 😉📱
Thanks for the wonderful article
Am I the only one who doesn't like these moves 😅🤷🏻♂️
The iPhone interface is still traditional
I did not see anything tempting me from the presentation and the exploitation of widgets and abbreviations
Hi Hassan! 😄 Don't worry, not everyone finds these animations interesting. However, if you want to try something new in the future, feel free to come back to this article and try out some of the ideas mentioned. Good luck! 🍏✨
Old information. It is useless
I did not know it before and I do not want to know it because it is a children’s player and its inconveniences are much more than its usefulness, especially when we have to use abbreviations, which I hate very much, because until now I have not been able to benefit from it, not even with one job, and I neglected it completely. Greetings to all of you and thank you for their efforts
I use it to make calls without unlocking the device .. You can put a shortcut to the numbers that you call frequently and make them in the screen that appears when you swipe the screen left and the mobile is locked
The dock tape is dying and hasn't died since 2007
The iPhone is fun with the jailbreak only, or go to Android. To be honest, the new Huawei Fold phone is dazzling, charming and attractive to a new world
O Salman. I notice. Download apps. Except from an intermediary program between Google Bay and Huawei. Every time you launch an app, an advertisement pops up in your face.
Despite the many options, the ios system still lacks a lot of settings, such as the option to delete or modify the bottom dock bar. This was one of the coolest things in the time of the jailbreak, and what users need for these features is that you cannot delete its boring background, and several years have passed since it was modified.
Hi Nki Nttan! 😊 Indeed, there were some good features at the time of the jailbreak. But with recent iOS updates, Apple is allowing more customization and improvements in settings. Be sure to try iOS 16 and check out the exciting new features! 😉📱
Generally the one thing I don't see a focus on especially for the casual user layer is the Shortcuts app
Hello.. We thank you for your efforts and for your generosity. In fact, I have benefited a lot from your explanations, especially in certain topics. I search for them in many places. Then I discovered that you have the solution…
The iPhone is more difficult than Android. I used to say in the past that children and the elderly can use the iPhone without a user manual, but now we need a guide to use the options are increasing. The simple interface option must be added
Hello Arkan! 😊 There is no doubt that the options on the iPhone are increasing and becoming a little complicated, but this comes with development and innovation. Unfortunately, there is currently no option for a simple interface on the iPhone. If you are having difficulty using iPhone, you can always check out the explanations and articles on iPhoneIslam website for help. We hope you find your way to better use of your device! 😄📱
