One of the things that attracts users to Androids is the ability to almost completely customize your phone in ways that other devices don’t allow, and the appearance of app icons is no different.
HOW TO CHANGE APP ICON
Changing the way your icons look on your device is only one way of customizing your phone, but it makes a big difference, in fact, you can even use pictures that are already on your device as icons.
There are many ways to accomplish this task, and this article will highlight a couple of them.
OPTION 1: INSTALL ICON CHANGER
Most people suggest using a launcher to change the icon for your installed apps, but there are several applications that can also help you do this. One example is Icon Changer Free from the Play Store. I would suggest looking through the Play Store at customer reviews and the features lists before picking one.
These instructions are for Icon Changer Free.
STEP 1. Open the app you’re using and tap the screen.
STEP 2. Choose the content whose icon you want to change.
STEP 3. Pick change in order to assign a new icon. This can be an existing icon or even an image.
STEP 4. Press ok. You can also change the app’s name.
Note: If this app is not suitable for your needs. Download a launcher instead. My favorite is Nova Launcher, or you can use any other one from the Google Play Store.

OPTION 2: CHANGE ANY APP ICONS MANUALLY
1. Find the application(s) you want to change. Now press it until a pop up menu is shown.
2. Select edit.
3. Tap that icon and pick a new one from the list of alternatives.
4. You can also use images from your photo gallery as icons.
CONCLUSION
Updating your app icons is another way of making your android device stand out, and it can be done with few simple steps. Most people either use a icon changer for Android or a third party application, both of which can be done with any level of technical ability. If you ever decide to go back to the default icons, simply go through the edit process again but pick the option under default. Changing the icon isn’t the only edit you can make; you can also make your icons black and white or even by adding filters. After experimenting with this, you’ll find that you can give your phone a complete make over.
