The white circles around icons that aren't rounded are a good thing. I like all my icons to be round.
But why can't said apps be round in the first place?!

I used to be OBSESSED with Nova Launcher - now I prefer the Pixel Launcher

Hmm. Maybe I'm missing something, but I'm not sure I use a launcher, either. In fact, I had to google "Pixel launcher" to find out what it actually is. I simply tap on the apps I want to use, and that's it...

It's your interface with the phone. The thing you see and tap to start your apps or open the phone dialer. It's just called a "launcher" and can be changed to another launcher for various other options.
Most OEMs like Samsung, LG, or whatever, make their own to give their devices a specific look. Samsung calls theirs One UI, but used to be Samsung Experience, and TouchWiz before that.

Thank you for being so patient with a noob!
I was there too 2 years ago. No clue one could change this.
2years ago, I came here specifically bc I was sooooo annoyed I couldn't take the labels off of the app icons on my S7 (as if I needed "Chrome" written below the Chrome icon... Isn't that the point of an icon???) I was hoping someone would have some trick on how to get rid of those on my Samsung. There was no trick but that was when I discovered the wonderful world of third party launchers. Enter: Nova Prime and mindblown.gif. lol
