Get Black & White App Icons On iPhone 16/16 Pro
Begin by unlocking your iPhone 16 and accessing the home screen. Then, long-tap on an empty space on the home screen to access the home screen editor.
From here, tap the “Edit” option at the upper left corner of the screen. Then, tap “Customise” from the options that appear.
Following this, tap on “Tinted” from the options that appear. You’ll notice a couple of sliders you can use to customize the color. Conversely, slide to the far right to adjust the app icons’ color to grayscale. Once done, tap on the home screen to apply the changes. This will turn the entire display, including icons, into black-and-white mode. However, this method changes the whole UI rather than specific app icons.
In conclusion, setting up your iPhone 16 or 16 Pro with black-and-white app icons is the best way to give your device something extra to make it stand out. Following the steps above, you can develop something minimalist you like.
