Touch and hold the Home Screen background until the icons begin to jiggle. Tap Edit at the top of the screen, then choose Customize. Make the icons bigger: Tap Large. (In large size, the names of the apps disappear.) Choose a dark or light appearance for icons and widgets: Tap Dark or Light.

Launch the Shortcuts app on your iPhone or iPad, then tap the + icon in the top-right corner of the screen. Use the search field to find the app you want to change the icon of, then select it in the list. Tap the down facing chevron at the top next to "Open App". Tap Add to Home Screen.

To see your Home Screen icons on all models of the iPhone X and later: Touch and drag slightly down on the spot just underneath the three icons at the top-right corner of your display. This will reveal hidden icons, as well as the battery-charge percentage.

Here's how to create unique iOS home screens with custom icons and widgets. Open the Shortcuts app on your iPhone by either tapping on the app or searching for it. Tap the plus sign (+) in the upper-right corner of the screen. Now you're on the New Shortcuts page.
