How to create application icon on iPhone / iPad without jailbreak

Usually to change the default settings on iPhone / iPad users are forced to conduct jailbreaking devices, such as changing the application icon. However, recently a Vietnamese development team has launched the online micon.io website to support creating app icons with any selected image, but we do not need to jailbreak the device.

With micon.io, users can choose any personal image on the device, then create their own icon for the application. Besides, we can also assign a new name to the application, add a lot of utilities such as calling or texting for a fixed number, open the application, open the website, open the deeplink. How to create app icon on iPhone / iPad with micon.io is very simple, will be introduced by Network Administrator in the article below.

Note to users , micon.io can create icons for applications on iOS or Android devices. With Android, we do it on Google Chrome browser. The following article will apply on iPhone / iPad.

Step 1:

First of all, we will access micon.io on Safari browser . In the main interface, you will see micon.io instructions on how to do with extremely basic steps.

Step 2:

To create the icon, click the Create MICON button at the bottom of the interface. Click the plus icon to add an image for the icon. Micon.io supports using images available on the device, taking new photos or using on iCloud.

Step 3:

Here I will choose the image available in the gallery. Next, in the image editing interface, we can rotate the image, zoom in on the user. Then, click on the Okay button , continue below the interface.

Step 4:

Switch to the new interface, micon.io will support us to create icons to assign options including: Who to call, Who to text, Open the application, Open the website, Open the deeplink. Here I will choose Open application . Next, you can name the micon , then click Select application to select the application you want to create the icon for.

App list appears that micon.io supports. Currently, the website only supports creating icons for Facebook, Messenger, Youtube, Skype, Instagram, Pinterest, and Twitter applications. After selecting the application, click Done to close the interface and click OK, Continue .

Step 5:

Then, click the arrow icon at the bottom of the interface to save the new icon. Next click on Add to Home Screen to add the application to the main screen.

Finally, click the Add button above to add the device interface. So we have created an application with a completely new icon already. The mechanism of creating micon.io icon is that it will create more icons for the application, but not replace it for that application. That means we will see an application with 2 icons, as shown below.

Overall, micon.io is quite simple and the number of applications to assign new icons is limited. Also, in case you assign the icon to the website, you can only view and manipulate it on that site only. We can't open more tabs like we do on normal browsers. Hopefully in the future, micon.io will expand the option of assigning icons to certain applications on the device.

I wish you all success!
