Don’t you wish you could put your iPhone’s home screen icons anywhere — just like you can on Android? Well, now it’s possible, and you don’t need to jailbreak your device or install third-party tweaks. Here’s what to do.


This is made possible using a neat trick which creates home screen icons that blend seamlessly into your iPhone’s wallpaper. So, technically, you’re not creating free space, but you are adding icons that are almost invisible when placed in the correct spot on your home screen.


How to Add Empty Spaces to Your iPhone Home Screen Without Jailbreaking?


To make this possible, we’re going to use an online tool dubbed iEmpty. Here are the steps you need to follow:


Step1: Tap and hold an icon on your home screen to make your icons wiggle, then swipe to the left until you get to a blank page


Step2: Take a screenshot of this page


Step3: Visit iempty.tooliphone.net in Safari on your iPhone


Step4: Tap “Customize,” then tap “CUSTOM Mode”


Step5: Tap “Add,” then tap the “Choose File” button


Step6: Tap “Photo Library,” then select the screenshot you just created


Step7: Tap “Upload Photo”


Step8: You will now be greeted by a home screen with a bunch of icons; you need to tap the positions that you want to turn invisible on your home screen. For instance, if you want to create space in the top left corner, tap “1 x 1.” For bottom right, choose “6 x 4.”


Step9: Once you’ve selected a position, you will be presented with a custom icon. Now tap the Share button, then select “Add to Home Screen”


Step10: Tap “Add” without making any changes


Step11: Repeat this process for all the blank icons you require


Step12: Now return to your home screen and move the new icons into the correct positions on the home screen, and they will appear invisible, creating what looks like a blank space
