iOS 18 superguide
Customise the Home Screen
iOS 18 brings great new ways to personalise your iPhone
The new iPhone operating system has brought us some fun new ways to customise the Home Screen. We’ve long been able to change the wallpaper to one of Apple’s custom designs or our own photos, and to add widgets to the Home screen to keep our key information handy. With iOS 18, you can take things further still.
Lock Screen icon changes
You can change your Lock Screen icons (torch and camera by default) to something else from Control Centre. Tap and hold on the Lock Screen, then tap Customise. You’re offered a choice of customising the Lock or Home Screen; choose the former. Tap the ‘–’ by the torch or the camera, then the ‘+’ that replaces the icon. You can now choose a new function.
