iOS 26 brings a completely new look for the home screen with the ability to make iPhone icons clear. The new, clear look of the icons and widgets matches the overall clear and translucent aesthetic of the Liquid Glass design of iOS 26.
In this tutorial, we will show you how you can make iPhone icons clear and make them match the rest of the Liquid Glass design of iOS 26.
Make iPhone icons clear
- Unlock iPhone and long-press an empty area on the home screen.
- When your iPhone’s icons start to wiggle, tap on the edit button at the top.
- Select the customize option from the pop-up menu. This will open the customize menu.
- From here, tap on the ‘Clear’ option. Doing so will immediately make your iPhone’s home screen icon and widgets clear.
After selecting this, you get three more options that include Light, Dark, and Auto. The dark mode will make the icons appear dark, while the Auto option will turn them dark when dark mode is enabled on your iPhone.
If you want them icons to appear clear all the time, then you should select the Light option.
After you are done, simply tap anywhere on the home screen to dismiss the customize menu.
That’s it, this is how you can switch the clear look for the home screen icons and widgets. With the clear theme, you can add consistency to your iPhone’s UI and match the icons with the rest of the translucent interface.
