The Ultimate iOS 17 + iPhone 15 Pro Customization Guide!

[@ihuman1327]

Android Users: Look what they need to do to mimic a fraction of our power. 🤣

[@JapmeetSingh]

Honestly. It’s such basic functionality yet. Don’t get me wrong, love the video and the very well executed workaround, but it’s a workaround. Fwiw I have an iPhone as well and i sometimes wish I could customize it like my old nexus phones

Man, I have both but was thinking the same thing!!! 😂

[@Tamayo.Sama2023]

Why you always set the icons super tiny 😅

It's true XD, but strangely they seem so beautiful to me

[@deyszaam5898]

Cz apple uses always Large icons! Sounds logical 🥲

[@Aem2512]

It’s easy to reach at bottom and looks less annoying with small icons. I use small and dark themed icons too on my iPhone

Help! I cant scan the QR code and i cant find the link!

[@emmasoccer2025]

I love this stuff and now with an iPhone 15 pro max,I jumped all over this. My biggest problem is that the QR code didn’t work ( I know how to use the ) and the link you said was in the description? What? What link. Considering this process can be used for other wallpapers, the QR code was for one widget with no explanation on of i had other wallpaper and icons. I worked through the video and crashed at that point. Love what the outcome is, but didn’t understand why the QR code didn’t work, where the link was and what if the widget wasn’t your lake theme. Can you help me out?

[@SamPattonMusic]

I switched back to an iPhone after a few years on the Android side and have come to the conclusion that iPhone customization isn't worth it. Why Apple won't pull it's head out of the sand and allow users to easily customize their phones is beyond me. Even with this tutorial, I spent several hours trying to do this. And only then finding out there's no way to connect the phone, settings, camera, or KZbin Music apps to the icons in Widgy??? Those should be standard options. Unlike Apple's iconic Mac commercial, iPhones are stuck in the sea of sameness. I'll just keep an Android phone on hand to support my customization desires.

[@joshuanolan4581]

[@bl_incxgnito]

Hey Sam! Looks amazing, I always follow your guides, buy all your assets and do these home screen setups, just spent 6 months with the S23 Ultra and have just got a 15 pro max, whilst this looks awesome as usual, I’m a bit disappointed with the widgy animations you see before opening an app, was there notification badges last year? Anyways can I just use your setup from last year, I think you used some icon apps, and the shortcut app, but if I remember correctly, we didn’t have these widgy animations to deal with, it was the Dynamic Island that hid the animations, so yeah will last years setup work on ios17?

[@theandrerouge]

Great tips and designs! Just bought the Wallpapers but the dock is still showing in all of them. Is it fixable?

[@ckroolz]

I am having the same issue. Does anyone have a fix?

[@StratisBakas]

Did you try Settings -> Accessibility -> Display & Text Size -> Reduce Transparency -> ON.

[@ClaxtonBay123]

Just got an iPhone 15 Pro so I need this. I find the iPhone so boring by default. Definitely need this video.

[@wesleybinion]

I love your videos and think you’re one of the best KZbinrs out there, however , it’s 2023 , ion think too many ppl are paying for wallpapers this day in age

[@syatek]

Great work - but it blows my mind how... complex and convoluted this process is. My iPhone is still on iOS 14.3 for Jailbreak - and 2 very simple tweaks can accomplish all of this in a fraction of the time with much easier UX. Apple remains so anti-consumer when it comes to customizing iphones.

[@CarlTerblanche-e9s]

Hey Sam, please reshare the link to your widget

[@darkonovevski3113]

this is like programing and set up your home screen hahahahha come on man this is one big bul*****

[@giulio1548]

18:03 I found a solution to that shadow ios puts under labels on light wallpapers. In accessibility there is a setting called reduce transparency, if you connect that to an abbreviation when pressing three times the power button it will switch on the reduced transparency, taking away the shadow, and it should also leave it disabled when you turn it back off. Give it a try and lemme know!

[@carloslara8117]

This is the reason why I dont want an iPhone its too complicated to do all of this work with my Google Pixel 8 Pro i can just placed all my apps in the order I want without doing all of this work

[@Casper.G2]

I found a quick (but not permanent) solution to the label shadow glitch. Tap as if you were about to add a widget and simply slide the clear space widget from top to center a couple of times until the shadow of both widgets disappears. When you've got it right, click done. It will remain this way until the phone switches to dark mode. You'll have to repeat this process when going back to light mode... better than nothing. 🤷‍♂

[@sambeckman]

Nice work!

How do we get the QR code for the home screen section?

[@markus7231]

The clear space widget does only take on the Dark mode screenshot so it only works when I turn on the dark mode

[@kirkcorner5792]

I've got my widget the way I want it, but I can't import it onto my home screen. When I tap my widget space which takes me to the Widgy app and I see the widget under "imported", I click on it and instead of taking me to a screen like in 15:45, it takes me to a preview of the widget with four options underneath: “edit widget”, “edit as a copy”, “start in PiP mode” and “share widget”. I thought I followed the instructions step-by-step, so I don't know what I've done wrong 😟 if someone could help, it would be greatly appreciated

[@eticocr]

What is the purpose of the clearspace didn’t get that if that doesn’t have anything.

[@drumwrkshp]

@SamBeckman, it looks like Widgy has updated their app so their name no longer appears below the widget on the home screen 🎉

[@UnkemptBushell]

Great guide, Sam. If I had an iphone, the delay in opening apps this way would drive me mad before long. It's weird iOS is still so restrictive.

[@IronsWHU]

It’s not iOS being restrictive because if you use app shortcuts it doesn’t do that. So you can still customise your Home Screen you just need to do it without using the Widgy app. Hopefully Widgy will update the way they open apps as it’s possible to do it way smoother on iOS.

[@Thecheezgod1]

@@IronsWHUno, it is iOS being restrictive. I’m an iPhone user and I have to admit it’s true. Even with shortcuts, custom icons still have a banner/dynamic island pop up with “custom” icons

[@IronsWHU]

@@Thecheezgod1 so, how is the little animation in the island a bad thing. It’s barely noticeable.

[@Thecheezgod1]

@@IronsWHU guess it comes down to opinion. The dynamic island notification is much less intrusive for sure. But having a notification pop every time you open an app is distracting to me

[@IronsWHU]

I’ll agree the banner on non island models is a little distracting. But the little island animation is fine to me.

[@Tatorritos]

For some reason, using the widgy link (.widgy file) > click edit widgy > immediately brings me to the icons/app editing page, skipping the option to assign light and dark background wallpaper. New to widgy and customisation on iPhones - any idea what could be causing this issue?

[@sambeckman]

Possibly because you’ve already used Widgy before, and have setup transparent wallpapers already? Either way, you can change them afterwards under the Manage tab.
