Method 1: The Magic of Shortcuts and Custom Icons

Alright, guys, let's get into the nitty-gritty of how to get those pink app icons! The primary method involves using the Shortcuts app that comes pre-installed on your iPhone. This app is your secret weapon for all sorts of customization tricks. So, how does it work? The basic idea is that you create a shortcut that, when tapped, opens the app you want. Then, you replace the original app icon with a custom, pink one. Here's a step-by-step guide:

1. Find Your Pink Icons: First things first, you'll need some pink icons. You can create them yourself using apps like Canva or PicsArt, or you can download them from various websites that offer free or paid icon packs. Make sure the icons are saved to your Photos app. You can find many free icon packs with a quick search online. Get creative and find icons that match your style.
2. Open the Shortcuts App: Find the Shortcuts app on your iPhone and open it. If you can't find it, swipe down from the top of your screen to use the search bar. This is where the magic happens!
3. Create a New Shortcut: Tap the "+" icon in the top right corner to create a new shortcut.
4. Add Action: Tap "Add Action." In the search bar, type "Open App" and select it from the list. This action will open the app you choose.
5. Choose Your App: Tap "Choose" and select the app you want to make pink.
6. Name and Customize: Tap the three dots (… ) next to the shortcut name. Give your shortcut a name, something you'll recognize, like "Pink Instagram."
7. Add to Home Screen: Tap "Add to Home Screen." This is where you replace the icon. Tap the default icon, then tap "Choose Photo." Select your chosen pink icon from your Photos app.
8. Rename the Shortcut: You can also rename the shortcut in the "Home Screen Name" field. This will be the text that appears below your new pink icon on your home screen.
9. Add and Done: Tap "Add." The shortcut will now appear on your home screen! When you tap it, it will open the app you selected, with your beautiful new pink icon. Repeat this process for each app you want to make pink.

This method requires some manual work, but the results are totally worth it! Your iPhone will feel uniquely yours in no time. The more apps you customize, the more personalized your phone will look. This process lets you control the look of your phone.
