Style up your device the way you want it to look

THERE ARE A lot of ways you can change your device’s appearance, from setting a fresh wallpaper to overhauling its whole look and feel with Dark Mode. The problem is that many of these interactions require to you search deep within menus and settings for the controls you need.

Rather than wasting time fiddling about with the Settings app every single time you want to make a slight adjustment, it’s far quicker and easier to create a few simple shortcuts that do the work for you. Then you can just say the Siri trigger phrase and let them work their magic.

Not only can Shortcuts make tasks much more straightforward, it can do things that otherwise would be impossible, such as changing your app icons to whatever you like. This lets you create a completely new theme for your device, particularly when paired with a powerful app like Widgetsmith.
