[nickh]

@gallifreyangirl

ios app already has custom icons to change

Can you change the colour of them?

My “Beta” badge is a minty green… (I like the Red!)

Can the iOS users get the same Beta icon by any chance?

Yes by changing phone to Android

I’ve no idea how much control Monzo has over this, but the new custom icons aren’t working on Nova Launcher on the Pixel 2XL.

Same here (using Nova on Pixel 2). But if you select the icon to edit it and go to “built-in” icons, the default one you’re offered for Monzo is the version you selected in the app.

I set up an iPhone for freetrade last night, can you dummy walk me through changing the iOS icon cos I failed looking at the blog

Actually. It’s appeared now I’ve updated the ios

[nickh]

Haha, sure.

In the app, go to:

Account
Top arrow on the right hand side to enter Account settings
Then top right “settings” button
Scroll down to Custom App Icons

Point 2 might be different cause I have a joint account.

I’ve looked all over the app and can’t find this option… how do you do it?

[16bitkieran (Kieran)]

Account -> Profile -> Settings -> Custom app icon

[TonyHoyle]

I don’t have that option. I’m on the latest beta but maybe the feature isn’t rolled out to everyone.

[16bitkieran (Kieran)]

It’s right at the bottom of the settings page

[Chris_R (Chris Rimell)]

I have found a bug with the app icons. I use Nova Launcher, the app icon is not updating. However, if I used pixel launcher it does.

Just looking to see if there is something I am doing wrong with Nova…

Perfect, thanks, I missed that in my haste!

My MS Launcher got a bit confused when I changed the app icon - Monzo vanished from the “most used” screen and wouldn’t appear when dragged back in manually, but did reappear back in the rightful place when I manually restarted the launcher.
Odd, but not exactly a catastrophe.

@ataulm said this on slack “This is an unavoidable side-effect of the custom icons It’s the same reason you need to re-add the shortcut to your homescreen if it was there.”

[Nishi]

Seems buggy with my Pixel 2 XL.

With the changed icon, Monzo doesn’t appear in my multitasking view but no issues with the default icon.

[caribo]

Custom icon looks half done to me… although I can change the app icon in my launcher, when I do launch the app the splash screen shows the original Monzo icon. I think it would be much more polished if the splash screen used the custom icon too…

[Kumnaa]

I can’t switch back into Monzo anymore. If I swipe to switch to another so Monzo disappears from my recent apps and I have to go to the app drawer/home screen to open it up again. It opens where I left it so it’s not closing fully.
