Custom App Icons made in Shortcuts should also get app notifications Just got into customizing my iPhone Home Screen. Though Apple has some limited customization features they are sorely lacking. Light and dark modes. Color Tints. Placing icons where you want. These are features that should have been made available years ago. Anyway, going through the painful process of creating a custom app icon and adding it to my Home Screen using shortcuts has had some wonderful results in truly allowing my Home Screen to have a custom look(not just light and dark🤣). But the problem is these icons do not receive the same notifications as the apps themselves. This would be a ridiculously easy fix and could be implemented to offer us customers a true custom icon experience while also allowing us to see notifications for the apps I made a shortcut to. Why is this still not an option? What is the reasoning behind not doing this?

Pinterest widget displaying home feed instead of specific board on iOS I added the Pinterest widget to my Home Screen and it puts images of my Pinterest home feed. However, I want it to put images from a specific board. When I click on edit board, I can click on my user, but I have no options of choosing my Pinterest boards. [Re-Titled by Moderator]

I don't have any home accessories to test this with. but here's the apple support article on how to change your icons: Change icons for files or folders on Mac - Apple Support. if it does work to change the home accessories icons, could you please let me know incase I see someone ask this again in the future.
