First, long press the home screen until the wiggling icons appear. Search for Customize and tap it. Now, choose if you want either Automatic, Dark, or White mode. The Tinted option will enter here where you will adjust the saturation and color via sliders. You can even utilize the eyedropper tool if you want to use other colors on the icons.

Once you're done, click the sun icon to darken the background. It will make your icons more visible to your eyes.

Apple did a good job when it decided to eliminate grids. This means that re-organizing your app icons and widgets is now easier. Follow the procedures below.

First, long-press the home screen, and again, don't stop until you see some wiggles. Drag the widget or icon. You can place them anywhere. Save the changes if their locations are already good to you.
