In iOS 18, Apple has expanded the ability to customize the iPhone home screen, one of which is that you can change the color of beautiful application icons.
Basically, this feature will change the color of all the icons on the home screen at once. You don't need to adjust each individual app, just choose a color and it will apply to every icon on the home screen, app library, etc. creating a unified look on your iPhone.
The way this recolor works is that it desaturates all the icons, then applies a single color overlay. This process creates a monochrome look, which means you will no longer see the original colors of icons or widgets, but you will have a more seamless look.
To choose colors, you can use the eyedropper to pick colors from your background image or manually adjust hue and saturation using two sliders. This flexibility allows you to perfectly match your icons with your background image or create a contrasting color scheme.
Here's how to change your app icon color in iOS 18:
Press and hold an empty space on the home screen.
Click Edit in the upper right corner.
Click Customize.
Select the Tinted option.
Drag the slider to change the color tone. Additionally, you can tap the color picker icon in the right corner to choose a color from your wallpaper.
Click in the area outside the customization panel to finish.
You can combine this feature with your lock screens as this color change is also linked to each different lock screen wallpaper. For example, you have a wallpaper with a yellow tone and choose the color for the icons to also be yellow, but when you change to another wallpaper with a blue tone, you can customize the icons to be blue without affects the previous yellow wallpaper.
