Hello guys!
I’m back with another ‘How to edit your IOS Home screen’ DIY and i have to say, I’m more a fan of this one than of any of my other posts. This is currently my IOS home screen design and i’m more than happy to walk you through the steps. If you’ve read my other blog posts, you’d know the drill already; Get your Widgetsmith app ready, the pictures you’d want to insert into your design (you can download them from Pinterest, Canva or Lightroom) and finally, 60 minutes of your precious time.
YOU SHOULD SEE: EDITING YOUR IOS HOME SCREEN: PRISTINE
STEP 1: The first step is to open your Shortcuts app, which normally would look this, but mine looks like the image next to it.
STEP 2: Click on the ‘+’ sign at the top right corner.
STEP 3: A page will pop up, to which you’ll tap on the ‘Add Action’ bar.
STEP 4: Click on the Search bar and type in Open App. Click on the bar that says ‘Open App’ only.
STEP 5: The Open App bar you clicked on will open up a new shortcut, click on Choose and select any app you’d like to be on your homescreen. For my list of Apps, these are them.
STEP 6: Once you’ve selected an app, it’ll return to the former interface, except instead of Choose, it would be the app you selected inserted on there. Next is to click on the three dots on the upper right quadrant of your screen, where another page would pop up that looks like the second picture below.
STEP 7: First of all, type in the App’s name that you want to appear on your Home Screen. For example, I downloaded an Oxford dictionary from the App Store, but when it was time to put it on my Home Screen, I changed it to just DICTIONARY. Afterwards, Click on the ‘Add to Home Screen’ bar, where a page would appear like the first image below.
STEP 8: Next step is to Click on the green (it differs in colour) icon next to the ‘New Shortcut’ bar and select the picture you’d like.
Next isn’t a step but more of a pop-up confirmation.
Go back to your home screen and VOILA!
The rest of it is just a repeat process of this. Do that and insert your widgets and you’re good to go on a beautifully curated home screen.
And as always, here is the video guide for in case of those that aren’t down with the instructional one.
And that’s it for this blog post! Tag me if you do get to design your home screen like this or get inspired to do something like it.
