Do iOS users not have free icon packs? I'm so confused by this...

You can’t change icons from the system/launcher settings. Individual apps can offer icon options, but they are internal to the app.

But you can do what I did and use the shortcuts app to set custom icons and app names.

To each their own, I moved from iOS to Android in 2020 and first days I started experimenting with different icon packs, but not all are perfect or of my taste, nowadays I only use the monet icons feature for Pixel Launcher, but if it wasn't for that I'd just use stock icons lol.

I suggest the "Delta" icon pack, if you haven't tried it yet. It's really good, IMO.

Well, I tried it and I like it!

Sort of, you can use the Shortcuts app to make a custom launcher and use any icon you want. It’s not very intuitive for the average user.

Maybe it's just a Nova thing but any image can be an icon, you dont have to change everything.

I found an article from 2020 that said it wasn't possible to use custom icons on an iPhone. Idk if that's changed, since I don't have an iPhone. I know customization is not something they are known for.

It's more of a workaround: you need to make a shortcut (which you can set a custom icon to) to launch the app of your choice. This is still possible.
