These customizations often take a lot of time, which is why there are apps that offer a catalog of custom icons directly. This is the case, for example, with Launch Center Pro, which allows you to create icons in a very short time: you can customize the color, shape, contours, etc.

Note, however, that this extensive customization was not thought out by Apple and some disadvantages ensue:

Customize your widgets

The great novelty of iOS 14 are the widgets. If Apple does not allow you to customize their appearance, there are however applications to do so.

Widgetsmith, the popular application of the moment

The application offers you a list of widgets: clock, date, personal widget (photo, quote, etc.), calendar, reminders, weather, phase of the moon and tide, physical activity. Among this list, you can modify the entire appearance of your widget: style, font, text and background color… Enough to allow pretty creations.

The application is available for free on the App Store.

Color Widgets, the practical widget

Color Widgets brings together the most useful information in a single widget: time, current date and battery percentage. All in a modern and refined design that we can customize as we see fit.

Original wallpapers

Never know which photo to put as your wallpaper? Note that Apple offers "dynamic" and "live" wallpapers that allow you to insert mini-videos. It is also possible to create dynamic wallpapers from your own videos thanks to IntoLive. The application allows you to transform your videos into “Live Photo”. Then just go to your settings > Wallpaper > Choose a new wallpaper > Live Photo. All you have to do is get started in customizing your iPhone!
