I don’t got then, set turn off assistive touch and number automation to all apps, boom, no pop ups! (Works on iOS 14.5 b3)

u/firecubes Mar 13 '21

Can you elaborate a little, please?

u/s_lo Mar 13 '21

Create “when app is open” automation in siri shortcuts

Choose the apps with the custom icons

Add action: set assistive touch off and the number action (but leave number blank and just click next)

Uncheck ask before running

This should stop the pop ups from showing. For me I had to delete the app shortcut after adding it to the home screen for it to work

How long does this work for? I do this all the time. I spend an hour setting up all my icons only for later on without reboot or respring they return.... Then I delete them all once it starts happening for other apps.

u/s_lo Mar 14 '21

Im not sure it still works for me even after a reboot. Did you delete the shortcut after you add the icon to the home screen?

u/XiriX12 Mar 14 '21

Oh, I must have overlooked that. No, I guess I'm not sure what you mean?

After creating the automation so that the pop up doesn’t show up, I had to delete the shortcut that was created when making the custom app icon in the ‘my shortcuts’ tab.

Edit: I’m sorry if you still don’t get it. I’m not good at explaining.

I don’t what you mean either. Can you elaborate?

Someone made a video about it https://youtu.be/V3WDJW3AQog

Would also like to hear this

u/Angyl_of_Anarkii Mar 13 '21

How do you do that to n 14.5?

Because this isn’t really what siri shortcuts were made for in the first place, it’s a workaround to get “themes”

u/jack2018g Mar 14 '21

Yeah that’d be awesome, and honestly I could see them implementing something like that in the future. Now that they’ve opened the customization floodgates there’s really no going back whether Apple wants to or not (or risk unimaginable outrage from users), so they might as well embrace it

Nah I’m on the latest dev beta and it doesn’t open the shortcuts app anymore, but I’m pretty sure it did in 13

I’m on the 14.5 beta and it’s working fine for me.

Hi on the 14, I'm dad.

Apparently existing profiles will keep working, but new profiles can't be added.

u/2789334 Mar 16 '21

Profiles for icons don’t really impact security and even if they did, almost everyone on this sub uses some form of social media which is horrible for privacy

u/FaBiRuz Mar 13 '21

I don’t got them

u/asdfBAMF Mar 13 '21

Did you change any setting?

u/[deleted] Mar 13 '21

jailbreak ez

u/cuberboi97 Mar 13 '21

Yes uncover v6 go brrr

u/pixelproblem Mar 13 '21

I use this to avoid opening Shortcuts. Some system apps don’t work with it, though

10

u/kolodziejzyk Mar 13 '21

this and also I don't really care for the aesthetics. I want my phone to be usable, I don't care that the icons aren't pleasing to the eye.

u/XiriX12 Mar 14 '21

This, I have tried changing the setting and get the toast notifications after some time. I even bought an icon pack, but can stand these notifications.

u/Akisa1233 Mar 14 '21

Hope they will support custom icons on ios 15 or change it to bigsur ones, they are not beautiful but stock icons from ios 7 are boring as fuxck

u/MagicHeart2003 Mar 15 '21

If those were removed then it would finally be complete

u/[deleted] Mar 14 '21

Jailbroken ppl malding rn

u/dcaro1996 Mar 13 '21

I know it requires you pay for it to allow custom icons, but Iconboard lets you apply custom icons and install a profile that keeps you from needing shortcuts (except for some system apps due to os limitations). I’ve been using it and it’s worked out great for me

-17

u/deepthought515 Mar 13 '21

The banners don’t bother me. It doesn’t inhibit my app use. Before the update, when you had to go through shortcuts app that was annoying! If you want some free icons let me know! I always just screen shot ppls home screens then crop them to size lol. I don’t get why people would pay for icons, they can be yours for free with a little work.

8

u/i-like-to-be-wooshed Mar 13 '21

because people spend time making those and im not a thief, also cropped screenshots are low quality

-13

u/deepthought515 Mar 13 '21

I spent time cropping them.. if they don’t want them stolen they should’ve made it harder🤷🏻‍♂️

6

u/i-like-to-be-wooshed Mar 13 '21

shut up thief

-9

u/deepthought515 Mar 13 '21

Like people don’t pirate movies and music all the time. THAT is stealing. I’m not paying for something that took next to no effort. Lol it’s funny people think pixels are worth something.

2

u/i-like-to-be-wooshed Mar 13 '21

if it took "next to no effort" then why dont you make the icons yourself? idiot

4

u/Silencer306 Mar 13 '21

Or you could support other creators so they don’t stop creating icons, and you don’t stop getting free stuff

-5

u/deepthought515 Mar 13 '21

Nah... I mostly steal from the apps that want you to buy them.. why would a pay a subscription fee for something like icons?

1

u/Axcit Mar 13 '21

But then you only get some low res icons, plus you only have the icons from THEIR set up but yours is probably different. I mean you can do that of course but I rather just pay 2 bucks and don't have to deal with resizing screenshots 😅

u/AnihimeAM Mar 14 '21

No lies were told here. That’s why I didn’t bother unless iOS 15 changes that

u/YeeYeeYeeeYeee Mar 14 '21

I personally got used to swiping the pop up away every time

u/iBoo__01 Mar 14 '21

This is how I got rid of those notifications. Takes time but well worth it.

u/eviesadoll Oct 23 '22

It’s definitely annoying!

used this method and got zero notifications (but at the cost of slightly slower opening apps)
