You can change nearly any app icon
on your iPhone or iPad using the Shortcuts app.
We will be showing you how to do this on an iPhone.
Before starting, make sure you've updated your device
to at least iOS 14.
Make sure you have the Shortcuts app installed
and have images that you want to use for new icons
saved on your device.
To begin, open the Shortcuts app
and tap on the plus sign.
Then tap "Add Action."
Now search for Open App
and select it.
Next, click on "App"
to choose what app the shortcut will open.
Find the app and select it.
Now click the settings icon
and click "Add to Home Screen."
Here, you can click on the shortcut icon
to replace it with an image of your choice.
Also, you can name the shortcut to your liking.
In this example, we're trying to replace our camera app
with a new icon of our choosing.
So we select the new camera photo we want
and label it "Camera,"
then click "Add."
This will place the icon on your home screen.
To get rid of your old app icon,
simply hold down on the app icon to open the menu,
then press "Remove App."
Then select "Remove from Home Screen."
Make sure not to select "Delete App."
This will remove the application from your phone,
and the shortcut you just created
will not link to the app and open it.
Now when you select the new icon,
it will open the app using Shortcuts.
