Reverse app styling in 18.1

In going through the Tips for ios18.1, I thought that I would see how the new app icon styling would look. It turns out that I really don’t like it, but I can’t find any instructions to revert back to the original app color scheme. How do I fix this?

iPad Air, iPadOS 18

Touch-and-hold any empty area of a Home Screen. When the icons "wobble", touch the Edit button that will be visible at the top-left corner of the screen; this will open an Action Menu...


From the menu, select Customise. You will now be able to select your preferred icon colours:


  • Light - All icons are shown in their default "light" colours
  • Dark - All icons are shown in their "dark" colours
  • Automatic - Home Screen icons will automatically change between Light and Dark colours at per your iPad's Display & Brightness Appearance setting
  • Tinted - Home Screen icon colours can be customised
