Do iOS users not have free icon packs? I’m so confused by this…

You can’t change icons from the system/launcher settings. Individual apps can offer icon options, but they are internal to the app.

But you can do what I did and use the shortcuts app to set custom icons and app names.

To each their own, I moved from iOS to Android in 2020 and first days I started experimenting with different icon packs, but not all are perfect or of my taste, nowadays I only use the monet icons feature for Pixel Launcher, but if it wasn’t for that I’d just use stock icons lol.

Yes, that is what Apple products have become. Add Reddit on top of that and you have a double scam.

Sort of, you can use the Shortcuts app to make a custom launcher and use any icon you want. It’s not very intuitive for the average user.

Maybe it’s just a Nova thing but any image can be an icon, you dont have to change everything.

I found an article from 2020 that said it wasn’t possible to use custom icons on an iPhone. Idk if that’s changed, since I don’t have an iPhone. I know customization is not something they are known for.

It’s more of a workaround: you need to make a shortcut (which you can set a custom icon to) to launch the app of your choice. This is still possible.
