Are you tired of seeing the pesky Shortcuts banner with the checkmark on your custom icons made with Shortcuts? Good news—today, you can get rid of it for good! This works on iOS 16 too!
Thanks to @xXJOSHMX on Twitter for continuously checking to see if the custom icons backup mod still works on iOS 16 betas.
If you have problems following the written tutorial, I would recommend watching the video tutorial. *WATCH NOW*
If you removed the labels on your custom icons, pls note that some of the icons of yours may be broken after the semi-restore.
On your Windows PC, install iBackupBot and iTunes (if iTunes is not already installed).
Note that iTunes must be downloaded directly from Apple's website. If you installed it via the Microsoft Store, semi-restores may not work. In that case, uninstall iTunes and reinstall it from Apple's website.
Once the backup is done, load the backup, then double click on your device name, then go to System Files → Home Domain → Library → WebClips. These folders you see that ends in .webclip are your custom icons, unless you also have a configuration profile with a webclip added, then that as well.
Now create a folder on your desktop, then in iBackupBot select all folders in the WebClips folder, then click export, and export all folders into the folder you made on your desktop.
Now, open a folder then open the info.plist file. Afterwards, find the text "ShortcutsIdentifier", remove it as well as the string below it. Save the file, then do this for each webclip. It's a pain to do if your doing a lot of icons, but hey this is permanent. When you update your iPhone, the banner will not show up again, but a custom icon or 2 might be messed up after updating, so you might need to redo those icons, so just be aware of that.
Before installing the mod, switch off iCloud Backup and Find My on your device. You can re-enable these settings after you install the mod.
Now once you have done all your icons, select all folders in WebClips (don't try to go back and restore the WebClips folder or else your modifications won't take effect), then right-click on it, then restore the selected items to your device.
On your device, it will display "Restore in Progress." After the device reboots, you'll encounter the setup screen. Simply setup your device, and when you reach the "Apps & Data" page with the "do not transfer data" option, select it and continue following the remaining steps.
