How to install themes on your iPhone without jailbreak

It is no secret that the jailbreak offers us a world of possibilities. Thanks to the jailbreak we can install applications that are not allowed in the App Store (such as Kodi), add functions to the default applications or, what this guide is about, install themes (among other things). A non-jailbroken iOS device works perfectly for most users, but you cannot change the image. Or, well, that's what I thought until I discovered a page that will allow us to perform a trick to "install" a theme on our iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad.

Before continuing I would like to explain one thing: what we will achieve by following this tutorial is not to install a complete theme, so if what you expect is a theme in the purest style of the jailbreak, it is best that you stop reading. What we will achieve with this method is to create shortcuts to applications with a very different image from the one shown by iOS 9, which is the only thing we can do in this regard without jailbreaking our iOS device. If you are interested, below we show you how to create these accesses and, more or less, install a theme on iOS no jailbreak.

Install new themes on iOS without jailbreak

1. The first thing we will have to do is access the following page with the Safari of the iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad: iskin.tooliphone.net
2. Next, we search and tap on «Browse all themes».
3. We choose the theme that we want to install.
4. Now we touch on «Applications icons».
5. From the list of icons that appears, we touch the ones we want to install. Logically, it is worth touching them all but, for example, it is not worth installing WhatsApp if we are not using it.

6. Once we have all the icons we select, slide down and touch "Install icons".
7. We wait for the countdown to end.
8. We will see the option to install a profile. We touch on «Install».
9. If we have a code configured, we enter it.
10. We touch "Install" again and then "Install" again.
11. When the installation is finished, we touch on «Ok».

12. You will return to Safari. Now we just have to wait a moment for all the icons to be created.
13. To see the installed icons we only have to access the last page of our Springboard.

I would like to explain two things about this method: the first is that when using it we will be installing a profile on our iOS device. Nothing has to happen, but we have to warn that when installing a profile of an unverified user or company, we can install malicious software, so each user must be responsible for their actions if they decide to install this or any other profile. of this type.

On the other hand, we must also explain what we are installing or how these icons work. What this method creates for us is a custom icon that includes a link that opens in Safari. If you want to understand how they work, you just have to access any Safari page and add the name of an application in front of it like this: "appname://www...". For example, if we want to open https://www.actualidadiphone.com on Telegram, the URL would be telegram://https://www.actualidadiphone.com. When we press intro, we will see a pop-up window (at least the first time) that asks us for permission to open the link in Telegram and, if we accept, it will enter Telegram and will be ready to share said link.

What these icons do is exactly the same as I explained in the previous paragraph: when you touch the new icons, Safari will open with a URL like the previous one. On the one hand, Safari will not be filled with new tabs, but multitasking will have two cards for each application, one for the real one and another for the direct access, as you can see in the previous image.

It must be recognized that the method is not perfect, but it will allow our iOS device to show a different image than the one it brings by default without depending on the jailbreak. What do you think?
