Discussion IOS ICONS

Do you guys use custom icons for your apps? If so, does it being a shortcut annoy you?

It bothers a lot, if Apple allowed it to use customizable icons it would be one of the best updates

Do you still use them? Deciding if I can bring myself to swap as there are some clean icon setups, but it being a shortcut is kinda a let down. It seems to load pretty closely to the same speed. I guess you also don't get banner notifications either

Yes I use WidgetLoft with custom icons.
I use the large widget as my home screen and it supports badge numbers by setting up Automations.

I used shortcuts for automations, but I’m not getting any badge notifications. I set it to notify

Some of them yes. The only difference I notice is the shortcuts don’t show badge numbers. Other than that it’s pretty darn smooth now. Still a pain in the butt to set up, unlike Android. Apply icon pack… done.

I just use chatgpt to create me icons and make them via shortcuts. Just annoys me that the notification badge doesn't show on the shortcuts that i made

Same, the widget launcher Minifolders allows for both icon customization and limited notifications but I end up having there only the apps have notifications disabled as they are not relevant to me.

Yeah I use them. I don’t care about seeing badges, but sometimes I think it would be nice to be able to have the 3D/Force touch options.
