Android users will soon be able to force app icons to match the theme of their phone

 

One of the main changes that Google brought to Android 13 was Material You. This is more or less an aesthetic feature where apps could change their icon to match the overall theme and color scheme of their phone, giving it a more uniform look.

 

The downside to this feature is that as far as third-party icons are concerned, developers will need to support the feature and supply the icon. So, depending on the apps you use, there may be one or two apps that do not support this feature which could "ruin" the look you are trying to go for.

 

 

The good news is that according to a tweet by Mishaal Rahman, it appears that in the latest Android 13 beta, Google is introducing a new feature that will basically force app icons to match the color scheme that you have chosen by generating an icon to match.

Eventually, this technique guarantees that clients get the most recent updates at whatever point it is accessible and that is by and large something to be thankful for.

 

Since Android 13 was just barely delivered, this implies that phones delivered in 2023 will undoubtedly accompany the new element.
