How to Change and Customize App Icons on Android
Changing app icons on an Android device can be fun and exciting as it allows you to personalize your device and express your creativity. Here’s a step-by-step guide on how to change app icons on Android devices.
Step 1: Download a Third-Party Icon Pack
The first step is to download a third-party icon pack. There are several icon packs available online, ranging from free to paid versions. Some of the popular icon packs include CandyCons, Rewun, and Whicons. Once you have chosen your preferred icon pack, download and install it on your device.
Step 2: Install a Third-Party Launcher
Next, you will need to install a third-party launcher such as Nova Launcher, Apex Launcher, or Evie Launcher. These launchers come with customization options that allow you to change app icons, themes, and wallpapers.
Step 3: Enable Icon Theme Support
After downloading and installing the launcher, navigate to the settings and enable the option for icon theme support. This option is usually found under the “Look & feel” or “Display” settings. Enabling icon theme support will allow you to change app icons easily.
Step 4: Choose Your Preferred Icon Pack
Once you have enabled icon theme support, go to the launcher settings and choose the icon pack you downloaded earlier. Selecting the icon pack will automatically change app icons on your device.
Step 5: Change Individual App Icons
If you want to customize individual app icons, long-press on the app icon you want to change. A menu will appear, and you will need to select “Edit” or “Change app icon” depending on your launcher. You can then select your preferred icon from the icon pack and choose to apply it to that specific app icon.
Step 6: Reset to Default Icons
If you want to revert to the default icons, follow the same steps as above and choose the option to reset the app icon to its default.
