This iOS launcher is the definition of perfection for Android users who want to use the iOS 16 UI.

In a report by Macrumors on Friday, Aug. 19, the Launcher iOS 16 is a special app designed to recreate a similar iOS experience on iPhones. However, the difference is you can run this interface through your Android phone.

It might appear to be a new app on the Play Store, but it has been running for the past three years. Android users first experimented with the iOS 13 launcher, and since then, several changes have been made to make it closer to the original iOS setting.

 

The Launcher iOS 16 mimics the similar view you usually see when using an iPhone. It features the iconic iOS Home Screen and even widgets you can only find on Apple's handset.

Additionally, this Android launcher also has an App Library, Force Touch menu, and more to explore. You will notice that the Camera app, Notes, and even the symbol of the Play Store are changed into iOS icons.

You can enjoy tweaking its customization of the apps so you can categorize the apps, home screen animations, and other objects you can see on display. This feature is not even granted even to iOS users.
