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.
