The new iOS 14 became available for all Apple iPhone users last week, and iPhone users immediately started to share home screen ideas.

The new iOS 14 gives iPhone owners a chance to customize their home screens in unique ways previously unseen.

  • “Together with iPhone, iOS is central to how we navigate our lives and stay connected, and we are making it even more powerful and easier to use in iOS 14, with the biggest update ever to the Home Screen,” said Craig Federighi, Apple’s senior vice president of software engineering. “We are thrilled to see the incredible ways developers are taking advantage of widgets and App Clips to create new experiences that we think customers are going to love.”

How to make new widgets and home screens

Creating some of the widgets and home screens can take some time. But The Verge has a really good explainer on all the tips for making your home screen.

I also rounded up some of the advice on how to make custom homepages as well, which includes some of the social media ideas.

Time for good iOS 14 ideas

Social media continued to share a number of iOS 14 home screen ideas in the days after the software update. Some play on old favorites and cult classics, while others represent a stylish new way to use your iPhone.
