Apple’s iOS 18 update will introduce new features to further customize the iPhone home screen, according to BloombergIt’s Mark Gurman.
In the latest edition of his “Power On” newsletter, Gurman claimed that Apple will allow users to change the color of app icons in iOS 18. For example, “you can make all your social icons blue or those related to finance green.” This type of home screen customization is currently only possible by creating single-action shortcuts with a custom icon used to launch an application.
Gurman also corroborated previous reports that iOS 18 will allow users to place apps anywhere on the home screen grid. This will allow users to arrange icons more freely, similar to how widgets can currently be placed.
iOS 18 is expected to be previewed alongside Apple’s other major software updates at WWDC in June, before officially being released to the public in the fall.
