iOS 18 has introduced important customization new features both on the home screen and in the Control Center. These innovations include the ability to freely place app icons on the screen, change the color of the icons, or hide the name that appears below widgets or app icons.
In iPadOS, the name of the applications does not appear below the widgets, and this feature has also been adopted by iOS. One of the options offered to us is to enlarge the size of icons and widgetsan option that hides the names below the widgets and apps by requiring more space for a larger display.
Opting for larger icons and widgets is key
When iOS 18 is available, We will have several options to customize the home screen. On the one hand, we can position the icons freely on the screen, providing great flexibility. On the other hand, the option to darken icons and widgets will be introduced by activating dark mode and, finally, we will be able to select the desired color for all of them.
In addition to these options, we have another significant one: to increase the size of widgets and icons. With this setting, the names that normally appear under apps and widgets will disappear. To activate this option, follow the steps below:
- Long press anywhere on the screen to activate personalization mode.
- At the top left, select “Edit.”
- Click “Customize.”
- Choose the “Large” option.
Once this option is selected, icons and widgets will increase in size, hiding names to allow everything to fit on the screen. It is a new version of the old zoom view that was available in previous versions of iOS. Recall that iOS 18 is currently in beta, but a version will soon be released to the public before its official launch in September.
