How to customise the Clock app icon aesthetic?

Now let’s talk about the procedure you need to follow. Changing the aesthetic of an app is a lengthy process. If you thought you could complete it with just a few taps, you are wrong.

Here are the steps you need to follow:

Open the Shortcuts app that is in-built into your iPhone.
You will see a + icon in the top-right corner. Tap it.
A new shortcut screen will open, where you need to tap Add Action.
You will be shown a menu, where you will tap the option Open App.
Tap Choose and select the Clock app.
Now click the three dots in the top-right corner.
Tap Add to Home Screen.
On the preview pane, tap the shortcut name field. This is where you can assign a new name to the shortcut you are creating.
Once done, tap the icon beside the shortcut name.
Now tap Choose Photo.
Your phone’s photo gallery will open. Select the Clock app icon image that you downloaded.
You will be taken to the preview pane, where you need to tap Add.
Lastly, hit the Done button.

Your new Clock app icon shortcut is added to your home screen. You will need to repeat the same steps for all the apps.

It should be noted that the custom app icon feature doesn’t change the aesthetic of the original app. Instead, it creates a new shortcut on your home screen.

Note: Creating a new shortcut will not remove the original app. It will be there on your home screen unless you remove it manually. It is recommended you remove the original app icon. This will make your home screen look less cluttered. There’s nothing to worry about because the original app can be accessed in the App Library of your device.
