Change the font of apps on iOS
Since it arrived iOS 14 our iPhone are much more customizable. We can add widgets, choose the apps that we want to show and which to hide, change the icon of the applications and, also, we can change the font of the name of each one of them.
The app Shortcuts is a mine of resources to create actions, automations but also to customize our device. Today we are going to give you a tip that will differentiate your iPhone and iPad from all the others.
Change the font of iPhone and iPad apps:
In the following video we show you how to customize the applications of our device. Right at minute 2:27 we talked about how to change the font:
Next we are going to explain, step by step, how to do it:
- Open the Shortcuts app and create a new one by clicking on the "+" that appears at the top right of the screen.
- Now click on "Add action" .
- In the search engine at the top of the screen, look for “Open app” and select it.
- A screen will appear where we must click on "Select" .
- We look for the app we want to change the name of and select it.
- Now we will click on the button with the 3 dots that appears in the upper right part of the screen.
- We put the name of the shortcut, for example the name of the app and, after that, click on "OK" .
- Now click on "Add to home screen" .
- In this menu that appears, we can change the app's icon and also the font of the name. Before doing anything we will do the following: We will go to the Safari app and access the letrasyfuentes.com website (there are many websites of this type, but in this case we will use this one), inside the red box we will write the name that we want to appear under the app and once written we will go down the web and select and copy the text that we have written, with the type of letter that we want.
- Now we return to the Shortcuts app and in the "Icon and name of the home screen" section, click on the text "New shortcut", delete it and paste the text that we have copied from the website that we have given you commented before.
- Now click on "Add" and you can enjoy it on your home screen.
Isn't it easy?. Look how it looks:

We hope you found this tutorial interesting and that you share it with all those friends, contacts, colleagues who have an iPhone and iPad. I'm sure they'll thank you.
Greetings.
From iOS 14.3 when we click on any of these custom apps from Shortcuts, this app will not open every time we click on these apps. They will directly access them.
