How to change App Icons on iPhone & iPad in iOS 14 (No Jailbreak)

Alongside the spectacular new Home Screen widgets, iOS 14 and iPadOS 14 allow you to change your app icons for a fully customizable Home Screen appearance.

Changing app icons in iOS 14 requires you to create a shortcut via the stock Shortcuts app. You will assign the new app icon to the shortcut and add it to the iPhone or iPad Home Screen.

This is the first and only way to change iPhone app icons without having to jailbreak your device.

All steps are shown in this video alongside with tips about how to remove the original apps from the Home Screen and send them to the App Library. We also show you how to revert to the original layout without too much hassle.

Before you start you have to know that this trick comes with two important shortcomings:

1. The app will open through the Shortcuts app which results in a small delay.

2. The notification badges for apps won't be available anymore because you will be using a bookmark that impersonates the original app and not the actual app.
