hi guys my face is really shiny I don't really know why but whatever hi everyone
welcome back to my channel my name s phone for this what's up everyone my
name is Adrian Fitch welcome back to my channel in today's video we're talking
about cute aesthetic AF ways to organize our iPhone apps but not just organize
our iPhone apps we're actually talking about how to customize our iPhone apps
okay okay okay by the way I just got an Apple watch like I was totally peer
pressured into it but it's pretty nice um the jury is still out so if you guys
want to know how I feel about that maybe I'll make a video about it it's cute I
know that like I said we're gonna talk about how to customize your iPhone app
so one of the things I discovered you can do that's like mind blowing and I do
not know how I didn't discover this ten thousand years ago is how to change the
look and the colour of your apps I know and without jailbreaking without
downloading sketchy third-party apps that like cause viruses on your phone
and break your phone literally a totally legitimate on your iPhone way to change
the look and the color of apps what so I'm freaking pumped to get into this
video alright so if you guys didn't see I posted a video seven creative ways to
organize your iPhone apps I'll link it down below if you haven't seen it yet I
do outline a bunch of creative ways that you can organize just the apps
themselves because we've always known that we can you know rearrange the apps
however we want have different layout so it's kind of nice to get some ideas I'll
link that down below now we can customize them even further so that's
what we're going to be talking about today is customizing your house
number one you can make your phone as cute or aesthetic as aesthetic as
aesthetic as you want any color you want blah blah blah super awesome as queues
you want yeah but number two you guys can get rid of all the anxiety that your
notification badges those red little badges give you or maybe I can get rid
of the anxiety that my badges give you and you guys see my phone on here you're
always like ooh badges trust me I know but this super secret hidden hack
actually gets rid of the bedroom oh yeah okay so I'm freaking pumped we're gonna
talk about it right now if you have iOS 12 so you have an Apple iPhone your iOS
12 this will work for you it is through this app called the shortcuts
app that is the app we're gonna be using to create icons I'm gonna tell you seven
different ways you guys can arrange your icons using this feature let's go okay
so as you guys can see look at how cute this is I mean this is a very plain like
minimal background but look at these icons right right right like too good to
be true also look at my little like Hot Wheels case I'm gonna make more iPhone
case videos soon all right so you're gonna open up the shortcuts app on your
phone and if you can't find it you can just search shortcuts alright it's gonna
bring you up to this page now first I'm just gonna tell you how do you even make
a custom icon in general okay then I'm gonna show you like how to customize
them so first you're gonna go to the shortcuts app you're gonna click on this
plus button in the upper right hand corner you're going to search in this
search bar open app you have to for some reason type that very specifically click
on it open app then you're gonna click the choose button and choose the app
that you want to change the logo for okay so once just what do I want to
change it for how about YouTube we're on YouTube okay so then you're gonna push
settings which is this little like two arrow things like two little sidebar
situation click that first you're gonna name your icon so I'm gonna name it
YouTube then you're gonna click icon now here you can change all sorts of colors
of the icon let's just say it was gonna be ready
Glyph is like you are gonna choose basically what you want the little icon
pattern to me so you could have it that you could have it be that literally
anything who I've never clicked on the people one oh that's funny okay and
symbols yeah so there are like plenty of options so also let's just pretend that
we're gonna do that one because I kinda like it better or mmm yeah that one and
then let's actually just make the color pink to be fitting with the rest of the
things so click done then you're gonna click
Add to Home screen it'll bring you to this page you click this little box I
mean it gives you the exact instructions but you click this box with the arrow
that's a home screen and there it is basically what it is is it's a shortcut
so when you click on it your phone is telling the button to then do the
command to open the app so it's not just going directly to that it kind of like
lags for a minute so it's up to you whether you think that's worth it or not
I think it's kind of cool to have these icons like I'm kind of down for it so
look I'll show you what I'm talking about if I could calendar there it is so
it still does it it just takes a second so that's up to you whether you guys
think it's worth it or not I think it's pretty cool takes like one second okay
so that's how you do that uh oh my god so as you can see I made mine pink if
you notice if you look at my actual messages icon my real one there are 35
texts so I have that red batch and I have all these badges right
if you look at this messages app I have no badges you can't see the badges which
is that cool so I really like that so the first way that you can arrange your
apps is to kind of do a minimal look so this can either be grayscale or like one
color I would consider this minimal everything pink it's very clean very
minimal who can do that with any color another thing you can do a little life
hack you go into settings and then you go into general and then you go into
accessibility and then you click on god I always forget what you do like as
I'm filming the video um display accommodations okay click on
display accommodations there are a couple different things you can do to
change kind of the coloring without changing that first of all you can
invert the colors so there's smart invert meaning basically everything
turns black except for like the icons which is kind of cool so like if you're
in text everything's like black which is crazy again or you can do the classic
invert which inverts everything so this is like negative mode I don't think I
could hang with this actually being my background but or like my the way my
phone looked but I mean it's kind of cool it looks pretty interesting and
then all the texts are like orange it's funny okay so that's just the thing you
can do alright you can also add a color filter so if you turn on the color
filters and you go to grayscale you can literally have everything be black and
white which is like again not my favorite but it's kind of right you can
also do the red and green filter which makes basically all the Reds turn pink
which I actually kind of think is cool and you can change the intensity like
down or up so if you notice obviously we already have these pink icon but look
like YouTube for example would normally be red and it's pink you can also do
this green red which is also pink but a little bit darker or you can do this
blue yellow which I don't really know what the point of that is so in case you
want to be super like aesthetically grayscale black-and-white minimal that's
an option so next is to use these shortcuts to make menu icons so notice
how I have like a folder that has food apps so shortcuts does that same thing
but instead of a folder it's just one app so if you click on my listen app it
asks me Spotify or podcasts if I click on Spotify it goes to Spotify so here's
how you create those go to your shortcuts click on add a shortcut type
menu click on choose from menu okay so now under prompt under one
you're gonna write let's say you're trying to watch video so you're gonna
say YouTube Instagram and snapchat okay what you're gonna do what did I do
oh so then what you're gonna do is on the same page you're gonna go to search
and click open out click on that choose the app so YouTube so there it is and
then you're gonna hold and drag that underneath YouTube and to the side that
means that when you click YouTube it's gonna go to YouTube so we're just gonna
do the same thing for the other ones
click and drag so now you have those right so then you're gonna click on this
Settings thing again and label the shortcut so I'm going to call it watch
and you can like put emojis in it to like video I'm sure and then add to
homescreen so let's say we want to do like a TV screen and pink just because
we're on the theme of pink okay Add to Home screen and there we go so if we
click on it it'll prompt us to choose YouTube Instagram or snapchat Instagram
right you guys I'm mind blown and I'm the one making this video so that is
like a sick thing I think you can do is like the menu lists instead of folders
you can have lists which is pretty tight another strategy that you can do which
I'm not gonna show you on my phone I'm just gonna put a screen shot right here
because it'll take a really long time is you can do the left-hander or the
right-hander which basically means you're putting all of your icons on one
side which would be the size that your finger is the closest to so that it's
easy to touch them and then you're putting invisible icons on the rest
so again if you guys don't know how to do the invisible icons thing I'm gonna
show you right now just so that you guys know first you're gonna click and hold
on any app so it does that scroll over to the very
side and screenshot it then you're gonna go to Safari and you're gonna go to
makeover dot IO this is ma ke ah nope ma ke o BR dot IO go to the bottom looks
like start makeover click on upload photo library then click on your
screenshot that you just took then it's gonna load alright then if you can tell
these are like where all the apps would be so let's say that I wanted this
middle row to be invisible I would click on the app that I want to be invisible
and do that same thing of adding to home screen I just add it there it is it's
literally so invisible I can see a so for example that's where I put it
okay so you can I'm not gonna do this again you can do this any way you want
you can put these two icons all the way at the bottom you can do anything but
that's how you do that so as you can see the possibilities are like limitless you
can literally do anything you want with these apps which is so cool so like I
mentioned you can do the right hand or which would be like having your apps on
the right side you can do the left hander which would be having your apps
on the left side or you can do the bottom line so having them all on the
bottom so that you don't have to reach super high up with your thumb or
whatever to get to the icon so you would just do invisible icons for like
everything above the bottom line you can do the top icon which doesn't require
invisible icons at all he would just be kind of like this and then the last
trick I'm going to show you guys is how to hide an app using shortcuts so let's
say you really want to have Instagram and your mom doesn't let you have
Instagram but you want it sorry parents yeah what you do is go to shortcuts
you're gonna click create shortcut again open app choose Instagram and then
you're gonna go to settings what you need to do is whatever background you
have on your phone you need to screenshot it again because then you're
gonna go to Home screen instead you're gonna say select photo I'm gonna go to
this and I'm going to zoom all the way in click choose and then the only stupid
thing is you have to so we're just gonna put Instagram where
let's just put like period so it's small and then add to homescreen okay wait
okay I don't know for some reason it made me type that so then you can see
here's the app but it completely blends into the background but when I click on
it it goes to Instagram so the only like caveat with this is that you need to
make sure that your background is probably dark because you have to type
this word so you kind of have to finagle that but it's still pretty cool so I'll
let you guys figure out how you want to do that and then actually I thought that
was the last thing the actual last thing is if you go to shortcuts it's really
cool that you can actually set a shortcut that has a custom logo so let's
just say I want my podcast to open which by the way you should guys should also
try no I'm on guys okay so I want the podcast to open and I want to call it
self-made see you know cuz that's the name my podcast and then if you click on
icon go to home screen select photo I'm gonna go all the way down to or
self-made CEO click on my logo click OK done add to homescreen add to homescreen
and then oh my god I have my own little freaking podcast logo that is so cool oh
my god I'm actually dying so you could do that with like anything you could do
that with someone's YouTube channel I love it alright you guys so I know that
that was only one one thing that I showed you which is the making your own
apps with shortcuts but what's that one thing comments endless possibilities so
I hope that you guys find that helpful I'm gonna go play around with it and
like figure out the way that I want to arrange my phone because there are so
many options with the invisible icons with the shortcuts I also will just say
like be aware of how many shortcuts you're using I'm not sure if it might
like make your battery drain faster or overload your phone definitely just be
aware of that because I don't want you guys to be like doing that and then
realizing that your battery's freaking dead after like five seconds cuz I just
discover this and I'm just playing with it now so just be wary of that and I
hope you enjoyed this video subscribe if you
haven't already please check out my podcast I would absolutely love it it
would mean the world to me go subscribe leave ratings and reviews and comments
and everything and I will see you guys in my next vid I love you so so much
bye
