    Someday soon i hope they give us more customization with the dock too. Maybe the ability to add more than 4 icons on the dock and scroll through them, make the dock invisible, or let people get rid of the dock altogether if they choose.

    • @DieselFuel1310

      Or make it so it doesn't blur the wallpaper and the apps are just their or make dock widgets

    3:15 what a saviour your are! I have been struggling here and thought iphone sucks that it would make the homescreen wallpaper dark. But its the brightness that can be changed too that i just didn’t realise at all !! Thanks a lot, I accidentally watched this thing.

    Hi, there is no way in iPhone 15 / iOS 18.1 to do Spaces - Mission Control (or Win key + Tab in Windows) to fast select a specific home screen in place swipe to the left?

    At 3:50 on the bottom where your 3 apps are, around the apps that „box“ is dark with that background. I’ve downloaded the same background but the bottom row apps box is not dark it’s brighter. Yours looks nearly transperent

  • @ItsMeMiles
    @ItsMeMiles 3 місяці тому +1

    Super informative! Thank you!
    You may have already covered this, so please forgive me if it’s redundant. Is there a way to change my Lock Screen and Wallpaper photos to saved Wallpaper sets to time in sync with light/dark mode? It would be great to have the background photos reflect the time of day. Again, this may be remedial and I’m just asking something obvious but so far I haven’t found a solution… Thanks in advance!

  • @JessM4rvel
    @JessM4rvel 3 місяці тому +4

    I really hope they change it so that you have the option to NOT tint the widgets, tinting the app icons I find absolutely fine it’s just when it affects the pictures I have for widgets it really bugs me

    Coming from an S22 Ultra to the 16 Pro Max, and not using an iPhone since the 3Gs (back when you could jailbreak it and do unlimited customizations) I was really hoping the home screen would have a lot more minimal customization options without having to use apps.
    I absolutely DESPISE the app library when not having any apps on the home screen.
    This video was great, it did give me hope that I'm not stuck with such a bland cell phone and that there is hope for iOS.

    I have a questions I'm hoping you could answer. Is it possible to assign widgets to lock and home screens? Is it also possible to change them all together? For example, let's say I've customized my lock and home screen with the wallpaper I like and widgets that fit. However, I'm feeling a different vibe. So now I want to switch it up. I notice that if I change the home and lock screens it doesn't change the widgets. Is there a way to change the wallpaper and widgets, save it, and use a different that I would create. Similar to loadouts in COD?

      Yes, I'm on dev beta 4 (not sure if it works on public beta/dev beta 3). Set your system to dark mode and make your icons light mode. The widgets should stick with system default (dark) and you are forcing light mode on the icons.
