How to apply iOS-style icons on your Samsung Galaxy
Icons are the most crucial part of the user interface. Everywhere we interact with system functions and applications, icons play a key role over the text guide. Samsung One UI already features neat and clean app icons across the user interface, but, you can also try out iOS-styled icons on your Galaxy device.

The One UI software doesn’t have the ability to alter the design or shape of the app and function icons. It becomes a disappointing thing for Galaxy consumers, but we have a cool way so you can turn app icons from a big hidden directory to choose from.
How to activate hidden customizer
First, open the Good Lock app, followed by the Theme Park application (if you don’t have these apps already, download them from Galaxy Store). Do note that the installation of Good Lock is necessary to get access to Theme Park, so don’t waste time bypassing steps.
Theme Park is the only way to alter icon design on Samsung Galaxy devices. One UI doesn’t allow you to easily change the shape, style, or layout of app icons, but Good Lock makes it possible. Theme Park could bring you what you want, but, it doesn’t work perfectly on all apps.
How to apply iOS-shaped icons
To apply iOS-shaped icons on the One UI interface, open the Theme Park application from Apps Screen. Navigate to the Icon tab through the bottom bar and hit that interactive “+ Create New” button.
Apart from the ability to download Iconpack through Galaxy Themes, the interface allows you to create your own iconpack using Shape, Icon Color, Tray color, and Size functions.
The pre-selected shape is the original One UI icon shape, while the second is circular, which looks a lot similar to Google’s stock Android experience. For iOS-shaped icons, you have to select the “fourth” option, and voila!
The large icons preview interface will display nine app icons so you can customize further before applying finally. After customizing the Icon color, Tray color, and Size, you have to hit the “↓” Download icon and give a name.
Put the name as per your preference and tap OK. After short processing, you will be redirected to the page from where you began the customization journey where you should see your own created Iconpack.
Now, tap on the icon pack you just created to apply to your phone’s by-default settings. Finally, hit the “Apply” toggle and let the Theme Park do magic and turn the shape of the original One UI icons to iOS-inspired.
Enjoy!
We spend about a third of our lives sleeping – during this time body and mind can come to rest. With the realization that a good night’s sleep is an important basis for our health, Samsung Galaxy Watch5 and Watch5 Pro support users in improving their sleep quality.
Measuring and analyzing sleep and starting everyday life more relaxed is a new trend. Around half of Galaxy Watch users track their sleep at least once a week, and 40% even more than three times a week. A better understanding of your sleep habits can make it easier to improve them and in turn, contribute to quality sleep.
Here’s how to get a good night’s sleep:
- Understand sleep patterns and adjust habits
Every person has their own sleeping rhythm and their own sleeping habits. The Samsung BioActive Sensor in the Galaxy Watch5 series can help to understand and, where possible, improve personal sleep needs.
Samsung’s technology can measure users’ sleep patterns whether they snore when the deep sleep phase begins, or how high the oxygen content is in the blood. With the Samsung Health app, these values can be easily viewed the following morning.
- Gathering this data can be the first step in establishing an efficient nighttime routine.
Samsung’s sleep analysis can help with this process by recording sleep behavior over seven days and then assigning it to one of eight animal symbols such as Alligator and Lion. Users also get helpful tips and instructions on exercise, nutrition, and mindfulness.
- For the ideal bedroom
The importance of a good sleeping environment should not be underestimated either. Details such as screen lighting or room temperature can have a major impact on sleep.
That’s why the sleep mode, which can be synced with the Galaxy Watch and Galaxy smartphones, silences distracting notifications before you fall asleep and turns the screen display into shades of gray.
In addition, the “Always On Display” function is deactivated. Sleep mode also prevents the Galaxy Watch from being accidentally activated when users touch the display or move their wrists.
Thanks to SmartThings, even more functions and features can be used for restful sleep. For example, compatible blinds, light switches, and air conditioning systems can be automatically controlled to fall asleep via the Galaxy Watch.
Samsung is constantly working to promote ideas and solutions for restful sleep and healthy sleeping habits. Through ongoing partnerships with industry leaders, including the National Sleep Foundation, Samsung provides practical insights to support healthy living habits.
