Make Your iPhone More Unique

Are you tired of the same old iPhone look? Do you want to make your device feel more personal and unique? Good news: like cases, there are plenty of ways to customise your iPhone to make it your own.

One of the easiest ways to customise your iPhone is by changing the wallpaper. You can choose from a variety of pre-installed wallpapers or use your own personal photos. To change your wallpaper, you can go to Settings > Wallpaper > Choose a New Wallpaper. You can also use an app on the App Store to browse and download a wide range of wallpapers to choose from.

On iOS 16 and later you can customise the Lock Screen on your iPhone and add Widgets. To do this, on the Lock Screen, touch and hold to open your wallpaper gallery. To select a wallpaper you already created, swipe left and right. To add a new wallpaper, tap the Add button.

Customise App Icons With Shortcuts

A great way to customise your iPhone is by changing the app icons. If you’re tired of the default app icons, you can use an app on the App Store to design and apply custom icons to your home screen. This can give your device a more aesthetic and polished look.

Changing the app icons on your iPhone can be a fun and easy way to customise the look of your device. Here’s how to do it:

  1. First, you’ll need to download an app that allows you to design and apply custom app icons. Some popular options are Themify & ScreenKit.
  2. Once the app is downloaded, open it, and browse the available icon designs or create your own.
  3. When you find an icon you like, select it, and then choose the app you want to change the icon for.
  4. The app will then provide instructions on how to apply the new icon. This typically involves creating a shortcut to the app and placing it on your home screen. The shortcut will have the new icon, while the original app will keep its default icon.
  5. Repeat the process for any other apps you want to customise.

Information On Changing App Icons

It’s important to note that changing the app icons using this method does not actually change the icons for the apps themselves. Instead, it creates a shortcut to the app with the custom icon, which you can place on your home screen alongside the original app. This means that if you delete the shortcut, the custom icon will also be removed.

Overall, changing app icons is a quick and easy way to give your iPhone a more personalised look. Just be sure to use a reputable app and follow the instructions carefully to avoid any issues.

Customise Control Centre & Your Keyboard

In addition to changing the appearance of your iPhone, you can also customise the way it functions. One way to do this is by using custom keyboards. There are many third-party keyboards available in the App Store, each with its own unique features and design. Whether you want a keyboard with GIFs, themes, or a customisable layout, there’s likely a keyboard out there for you.

You can also customise your iPhone’s Control Centre, which is the menu that appears when you swipe up from the top-right of the screen on iPhone X or later, or bottom edge on iPhone SE, and iPhone 8 or earlier. 

The Control Centre allows you to quickly access frequently used settings and features, such as Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and the flashlight. To customise the Control Centre, go to Settings > Control Centre > Customise Controls. Here, you can add or remove controls and rearrange their order to suit your needs.

Installing Custom Software

Finally, you can customise your iPhone by jailbreaking it. Jailbreaking allows you to install custom themes, tweaks, and apps that are not available through the App Store. However, it’s important to note that jailbreaking your iPhone may introduce security vulnerabilities and other issues. As such, it’s not recommended to install custom software and should be approached with caution.

Personalised & Unique

There are many ways to customise your iPhone to make it feel more personal and unique. Whether you want to change the wallpaper, app icons, keyboard, Control Centre, the options are almost limitless.
