Smartphones are notorious for using eye-catching colors and indicators on the display to draw in the user, but the iOS 14 Icons is a minimalist icon pack that aims to change this with a decidedly less flashy design. The icon set for iOS 14 works by allowing users to give each of their apps a custom image of their choosing and will also work to transition the screen to a grayscale effect. This could help users to feel less overwhelmed by their smartphone and potentially even use it a little less throughout the day.
The iOS 14 Icons pack includes 35 different icons for users to choose from and helps infuse a touch more customization for users to appreciate with their Apple-branded device.
