Shortcuts

Okay, so like, you know how sometimes you see those super aesthetic iPhone setups on Pinterest or TikTok and you're just like, 'HOW?!' Well, I've been diving deep into the Shortcuts app, and lemme tell you, it's a total game-changer for 'retouching' your phone's look! This isn't just about changing an icon; it's about crafting a whole vibe that truly reflects your personality, and it's surprisingly simple to do. After learning "How To Use SHORTCUTS To Customize Your Apps," I realized the real fun begins when you start hunting for the perfect images for your new custom icons. Forget the boring default look! I usually hit up Pinterest first – seriously, just type 'aesthetic app icons' or 'boho iPhone icons,' and a whole world opens up. You can also find amazing icon packs on Etsy if you want a super cohesive look. Remember the step where you 'Select the picture you want to use'? That's where your creativity really shines! Make sure to save high-quality photos directly to your camera roll so they look crisp on your home screen. It's all about making your phone feel uniquely 'you,' giving it a digital facelift. Once you've got your custom icons ready using the 'Open App' action, the next step is organizing them. For me, "saving it for my profile" means creating a home screen that’s not just pretty but also functional. Think about themes! Do you want a pastel theme, a dark academia vibe, or something minimalist? Arrange your icons by color, category, or even how often you use them. I love dedicating entire pages to specific themes, like a 'Creativity' page with my design apps, or a 'Wellness' page for my health trackers. Don't forget to play around with widgets too – they're the perfect companions to custom icons for that fully 'retouched' look. It truly makes your phone feel like an extension of your own style, far beyond just the standard apps. This whole process of using the Shortcuts app to essentially 'retouch' my phone's appearance has made me genuinely excited to use my device. It’s not just about looking good; it's about creating a digital space that feels comfortable and inspiring. When you 'Add to Home Screen' those beautifully chosen images, you're not just making a shortcut; you're building a personalized experience that truly 'fits' your profile. It’s super satisfying to scroll through pages of apps that all match my chosen aesthetic. I even made a custom icon for my 7-Eleven app just for fun, making everyday tasks feel a bit more special. If you're looking to give your phone a fresh, personalized look, this 'shortcut set' for custom app icons is definitely the way to go. Give it a try, you'll be surprised how much you love your 'new' phone!
