Why do we need to Change App Icon?
Every Android device, depending on its OEM, comes with a slightly different UI. This UI determines the appearance of the icons, and to be honest, these icons don’t look very good. Some of them are round, some rectangular, and others have their unique shape. As a result, a lot of people feel the need to change the way these icons look. Here are some of the main reasons why users feel the need to change App icons.
-
For a fresh new look – It is quite normal to get bored looking at the same interface and icons day in and day out. Everyone wishes for a change at some point or another. Changing the appearance of the icon will add a touch of freshness and make your old device look like it was brand new. Therefore, to break the monotony, we can replace boring old default Android with something cool, funky, and unique.
-
To bring uniformity – As mentioned earlier, every icon has its unique shape. This makes the app drawer or the home screen look unorganized and unaesthetic. If you are someone who prefers uniformity, then you can easily change the App icons to make them look similar. For example, change all of their shapes to round or rectangular and assign a fixed color scheme.

To replace some ugly icons – Let’s face it. We have all come across certain apps that offer excellent features and services, but the icon looks terrible. We wish to continue using the app as it is very good, but its icon makes us sad every time we look at it. Stuffing it inside a folder works but thankfully there is a better alternative. Android allows you to customize the appearance of the icons so that you do not have to compromise with your aesthetics.

Apps like Awesome Icons, Icons Changer, and Icon Swap allow you to easily change app icons directly without affecting other aspects of the UI.
