One of my favorite new things iniOS 18 is the customizable home screen.

But that joy doesn’t apply to every app.

These include bank apps or even two-factor apps like Google Authenticator.

Create a shortcut to open the app.

Here’s how it works.

Then, use the Shortcuts app to add a home screen shortcut for the app featuring the new icon.

To get started, first download and install theGet App Icon shortcut.

initiate the Shortcuts app and tap theGet App Iconshortcut.

punch in in the name of the app that you want to download the app icon for.

The shortcut will now search the App Store.

Choose the correct app from the search results.

In a couple of seconds, the Shortcuts app will save the original app icon to the Photos app.

Then, press and hold the image and tapSave to Photosto save it to the Photos app.

Now, we can start the process of creating the new app icon.

OpenRemove.bg’s Change Background tool and tap the blueUpload Imagebutton.

Here, choose the app icon that you just downloaded.

Next, in the Background Image section, tap theSelect Fileicon.

Here, choose the dark background image from the Photos app.

You will instantly see the new dark mode photo.

Press and hold the image, then choose theSave to Photosoption from the menu.

Here, tap thePlusicon from the top to create a new shortcut and chooseOpen Appas the action.

Now, tap the down-arrow button from the top, and choose theAdd to Home Screenoption.

Here, first change the app’s name and tap the switch image option.

Then, tap theChoose Photobutton and snag the brand-new dark mode icon that you just created.

Tap theAddbutton to complete the process.

And just like that, you have a new dark mode icon that goes along with everything else!

Repeat this process to convert more apps to the dark side.

Just remember to create new shortcuts for each new app.

In this case, you might search online for a dark icon and use that instead.

With a quick Google search, here’s agood option that I found.

The Shortcut would be the samejust use the downloaded icon instead of creating a dark mode icon yourself.
