How to use custom icon pack on your Samsung One UI 4.1 phone
Customizing your phone is one of the most interesting tasks you perform on your phone. While Samsung offers you various customization options to beautify your quick settings panel, volume panel, home screen, lock screen, and others, we know that the first step of customization starts with Wallpaper, Themes, and app icons.
Samsung has a dedicated theme store for changing the themes, wallpapers, icons, and even the always-on display style on Galaxy devices called Galaxy Themes. It provides you with dozens of icon packs. If you don’t like the default Samsung icons, you can download or purchase other icon packs from the applications.
