GarageBand gets the dark icon treatment for iOS 18

Apple continues to roll out dark app icons for its suite of iOS apps that live in the App Store. Today, GarageBand got a bug fix update that includes the stylish new dark theme artwork.

While all of Apple’s built-in system apps got dark mode icon alternatives as part of the iOS 18 release, apps that get updated through the App Store have been lagging slightly. However, Apple has been ticking them off at a rapid clip.

Released today, GarageBand 2.3.17 adds its stylish dark icon, with the burnt orange and red tinted guitar sitting atop a clean black backdrop. This follows the dark mode icon addition to Apple Music Classical from a couple days ago.

Remaining mainstream Apple apps yet to get dark icons include both of Apple’s video editing tools, iMovie and Clips.

You can find the dark icons by customizing your Home Screen appearance to Dark. Long-press to activate jiggle mode, press Edit, Customize, then select Dark. Use Automatic to toggle automatically between light and dark icons based on time of day.
