Hey, what's going on, guys?
Rahul here from TechReviewPro and welcome back to another tutorial.
In this video, you will learn
how to create custom app icon for any app on iPhone.
So basically I'm going to show you how you can create custom app icon like this.
Here you can see the official Apple Map icon
and I have created a custom app icon for Apple Map here.
And if you open this,
this will work exactly the same way how the official Apple Map works.
So if you want to learn how to create
custom app icon for any app on iPhone, keep watching!
The way we create custom app icon on iPhone is:
Using an app called Shortcuts.
Along with that, you will need some images which you would like to use as custom app
icon for any app for which you want to create custom app icon.
If you don't have Shortcuts app installed
on your iPhone, chances are because you have deleted it.
So simply go to App Store and then you can search for Shortcuts and download it.
I'm going to search Shortcuts here.
Here you can see the download option.
The reason why I'm seeing this open option is because the app is already installed.
So I'll simply tap open and here you can see I have created a shortcut.
Now let me show you how you can create a shortcut like this for custom app icon.
Simply tap this plus icon and then give this shortcut a name.
I'll simply give it "Custom Apple Map".
You can enter any name here.
This will basically be the name like this one here you can see Maps, and whatever you
enter here, this will be the name underneath the app icon.
Once you have entered the name, you may add an Action.
From various categories.
I'll choose scripting and then
I'll select Open App and then I'll have to tap here where it says "App" and choose
the app for which I want to create custom app icon.
Since I'm going to create custom app icon for Apple Map.
So I'll choose Maps.
If you want to create custom app icon for any other app like for Instagram or
Music or Notes, you may select other apps based on your requirements.
I'll choose Maps and then I'll tap this
share button and Select Add to Home Screen.
So this will basically add this shortcut to my home screen.
But before that, I'll change the app icon
and for that I'll tap here on this app icon and then I'll need to choose
the photo that I want to set as the custom app icon.
You may choose from file or take a photo if you want, but I have already downloaded
and saved the photo that I want to use as custom app icon.
So I'll tap here and select the photo
that I want to add, and then I'll tap this choose icon.
So this has changed the custom app icon.
Now I'll simply tap add here and now I'll
close this so. As you can see, I have created another shortcut here.
And if I minimise this, you can see that, here,
it says Custom Apple Map and that's the newly created Apple Map icon.
And in order to verify this, I'll simply tap here to open
and the Apple Map will open and work exactly like the official Apple Map.
And if you want, you can now delete this and also this one.
I'll simply remove this.
If I choose the remove from home screen option,
this app will be removed from here, but it will still remain here
App Library. So you don't need to worry about leaving the official app.
So as you can see, I have just created a custom app icon for Apple Map.
You may follow the same instructions
and create a custom app icon for any app on your iPhone.
