Create an aesthetic with iOS 14
The addition of widgets to iPhones with iOS 14 has driven Apple fans wild with the excitement of near-endless possibilities for customisation.
Since the software launched on September 16th, images of custom-made home pages, all with different colour palettes and aesthetics, have flooded social media.
From brightly coloured backgrounds to pastel-pink app shortcuts, we’re seeing a much more varied look to Apple’s latest iOS software.
Tutorial: How to create a custom aesthetic
Designing your own iPhone home screen aesthetic couldn’t be easier with iOS 14.
- Pick a theme – Whether you want to go for a bright neon colour scheme or an arts and crafts theme, you can’t go wrong.
- Find images – The first thing you’ll want to do once a theme has been decided on is to find a collection of images that you want to use whether that’s for your lock screen image or app shortcut images.
Images for app shortcuts will need to be set to a square shape. This can be done on the Photos app on your iPhone or a similar photo-editing app.
- Reorganise – To make space for your re-design, you’ll have to move all of your old apps out of the way (possibly into the last page on your home screen or into files), but be sure to just move them rather than delete them as app shortcuts still need the original app to work.
- Assemble – The next step is to put your new aesthetic together and this is where you take charge to create the design you want.
Using the Shortcuts and Widgetsmith apps, you can create custom logos and widgets for apps that fit your aesthetic.
A tutorial in video form from Kaice Alea on YouTube can be found below.
Apps you’ll need:
Over (photo-editing – can also work with iPhone’s Photos app), Shortcuts (creating custom app logos), Widgetsmith or Colour Widget (creating custom widgets).
How to find red social media logos
If you’re hoping to make a red-themed aesthetic on iOS 14, for example, you’ll no doubt be wanting to find red logos for the likes of Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, Snapchat, Spotify and TikTok.
The best way of doing this is to head over to the search engine of your choice and look for images that fit your criteria.
For example, if you’re looking to find a red Facebook logo, simply search for ‘red facebook logo’ images and look for examples that match the style you’re looking for.
It is worth noting, however, that images in search engines are often protected by copyright laws so actually using images you find may well be prohibited unless they’re free to use as Creative Commons Images.

One thing I’ve noticed in recent times is, as Spotify grows into a large, numero uno service for streaming music, it’s getting a lot buggy. That’s usual for any company but when they’re having such a huge, dependent user-base and charging for the services, you begin to get frustrated with blatant issues.
One such issue is when Spotify stops playing tracks on the iPhone and iPad after a while. This issue is notably different from the usual rigmarole where Spotify does not play a particular track(s).
If you find yourself in that odd spot, note that this might be completely a server issue at Spotify. These things keep happening a lot nowadays and right when you’ve got a lot of tracks either on your device (offline playing) or on the cloud, you might face this problem.
Spotify Stops Playing Tracks on iPhone: Fixing It
#1. App Could Be A Problem
Of late, the updates to the app have been pulling the performance down. No matter what the team says (and yes, I do appreciate the devs for developing such a wonderful app), Spotify app does have some issues of its own.
On most forums and support queries, you’ll be told to delete the app and re-install it as a last resort. That’s the usual way but with all the issues cropping up, I’ll just recommend a straightforward delete+re-install of the app.
This means you’ll lose playlists that you didn’t sync through the iPhone but if you manage the stuff from a PC/Mac, you’re safe. You can get them back on the Spotify app right after you reinstall it.
#2. Force Exit
Maybe you’re away from a PC right now and need a quick solution. This is for you.
- Open Spotify
- Press and hold the Power button till ‘Slide to power off’ shows up
- Now, release the power button and press (and hold) home button till the slider vanishes
- The app should close down now
- Open the multi-task switching bar and close Spotify (hold on the icon till it wobbles, tap on minus sign.)
#3. Check Wi-Fi+3G Settings
Oh, by the way, make sure you’re not running into trouble with your network.
There’s a considerable amount of furor over how Apple’s recent updates have led to connectivity taking a hit. If things aren’t panning out on Wi-Fi, try turning it off completely and switching to cellular. If Spotify still stops playing after a while, then you can assume – correctly – that it has got nothing to do with the network.
#4. Restart Your iPhone
Sounds silly but that’s one of the working recommendations that appear to get Spotify working normally. You can restart your phone usually, or you can do a hard reset: which means you press down the power and home button till the Apple logo appears on the screen and the phone restarts.
#5. Check Background Apps
One of the reasons why Spotify does not play tracks could be the insufficient resource. Double press the Home button and force close other apps running in the background except for Spotify.
Now give it a try to play your song and check, this time you should be able to listen to your song. Most of the users on forums have vouched for this trick to be working and thus, you should have solved the problem by now.

#6. Logout and Login again
Sometimes the Spotify issue is server sided, and the user hardly has any role to play. To be sure, try logging out of Spotify and then login back again. By doing this, the track lists are refreshed again from the server. Check again if you can play the track(s) on Spotify.
#7. Change Sync, Crossfade, Gapless and Quality Settings
Very rarely, it’s an issue with the quality of your sync/share. Tweaking these values to figure out if these are the culprits causing Spotify to stop playing the tracks can be nerve-wracking. But you can try changing:
- Sync/Share Quality
- Crossfade
- Gapless
- Offline Playlist
The issue should have been solved by now.
