Aesthetic Fall App Icons for iPhone and Android

Get in the Autumn spirit by swapping out your app covers with fall-themed icons. In this article, I'm sharing free aesthetic fall app icons for an iPhone and Android.

Autumn's cool weather, colorful leaves, and early sunsets after hot summer days gently remind us that change is necessary. With fall app icons, you can carry the beauty and symbolism of autumn right in the palm of your hand.

I've seen home screens embellished with colorful pumpkin icons, flannel designs, and vibrant apples fit for an apple orchard. Additionally, you can makeover app icons in every fall color or keep it simple with a neutral layout. Add an aesthetic autumn background, and you have a home screen fit for the season!

In this article, I'm sharing free fall app icons you can download, and how to use them with an iPhone or Android. Let's get started!

Illustrated Fall App Icons

This first set of fall app icons by RJ Kaur features adorable hand-drawn icons on top of a solid background. The burnt orange, olive green, and golden shades are reminiscent of leaves covering the streets. There are 40+ app covers to work with including, Twitter, Instagram, Reddit, Etsy, Netflix, and more.

I avoid placing apps with the same background color side by side, then add frequently used apps at the very bottom of the home screen. That way, I can quickly find and open the app. For me, this usually consists of the phone, messages, and Safari app, but add what best suits your needs! You'll find a few app covers in RJ Kaur's Pinterest board overlaid with handwritten text to download as well.
