Mines not working. It isn’t changing the icon.
That’s an iOS bug that has been around for ages. You have to restart your phone
You were right, but I have never encountered that bug before. Weird. Anyways, problem solved!
I have that for every single app that changes app icons. It’s really annoying
The old turn it off and turn it back on solution, i always forget it exists… I should have tried it first!
iOS or Android? And what version of Android?
ios 16.3.1. I’m gonna do a software update and see if that changes anything since I see there’s one available for iOS. Whats the weirdest is that when I search for the app on my phone, the correct icon shows up in the search results, but everywhere else it’s the old one.
Is it possible you have the PWA installed to the homescreen alongside the app? If you have duplicate icons that would explain it but also be very confusing :P
This is an iOS bug that has been around for years (thanks Apple), basically every app has that problem. You have to restart to see the updated app icon. You could probably add a disclaimer that says "if the icon isn’t updating, try restarting your device".
That was the first thing I checked, and nope!
That's very odd. Please keep me posted and I'll keep an eye out as well!
I just uninstalled and reinstalled the app and I can literally watch the icon change randomly. It is showing the old one but when I tap to open the app it briefly flashes the new icon before returning to the old one. Anyways, I’ll do the iOS update overnight and try again in the morning!
