Over the years, Apple has only added more and more customization to iOS. First, we got all of the lock screen personalization [back with iOS 16](https://9to5mac.com/2022/09/12/ios-16-lock-screen/). That was followed up with [icon color tinting](https://9to5mac.com/2024/09/18/change-iphone-app-colors-theme-ios-18/) in iOS 18, [clear icons](https://9to5mac.com/2025/08/27/how-to-make-iphone-app-icons-clear-with-ios-26/) in iOS 26, and a full-on [Liquid Glass slider](https://9to5mac.com/2026/06/15/ios-27-adds-new-liquid-glass-slider-on-iphone-heres-what-it-lets-you-do/) in iOS 27.

The iPhone has become more and more individualistic as time has gone on, and that’s a great thing. Since we can already tint our icons on our home screen – why not extend that to the rest of the operating system?.
