• Widget Integration: The tutorial includes the addition of a weather widget for quick access to temperature information.
• Custom App Icons: The video demonstrates how to use the Shortcuts app to create custom app icons from downloaded images, enabling users to replace the default iOS app icons.
• App Library Usage: Andrew advocates for using the app library and the search function for efficient app navigation.

The video details creating custom app icons using the Shortcuts app. The steps are:

1. Open the Shortcuts app: If you don't have it, download it from the App Store.
2. Create a new shortcut: Tap the "+" icon.
3. Add the "Open App" action: This action is suggested; select it from the options.
4. Choose the app: Select the app you want to create a custom icon for (the example uses YouTube).
5. (Optional) Rename the shortcut: The tutorial renames it to match the app for clarity.
6. Add to home screen: Select the "Add to Home Screen" option. Choose the photo option instead of keeping it as a shortcut.
7. Choose photo: Select the downloaded custom icon image from your saved files (from Loki's pack in this example).
8. Add the icon to the home screen: The new custom app icon will be added to your home screen. You can reposition it as needed.
