Before You Start: Make sure your iOS is updated to version 18 or later!

Note: This method also changes the color of icons! If you want to keep icon colors the same, use a dedicated widget customization app instead.

Change Only Widget Colors with a Dedicated App!

When using the iPhone’s built-in features, changing widget colors will modify the "icons" and "background." If you only want to change widget colors, you'll need to use a third-party app. That’s where WidgetClub comes in! 💞
