Why my apps doesnt change the icons

[AC Question]

When I update apps why I don't get the Same icons on my phone as the playstore. On s7edge. Sorry for my bad English

Are you using any theme from Galaxy Apps? If so, there might be an icon pack changing them on your app list. If you go to the Application Manager and you find the app that you installed, does it have the same icon as the Play Store?

#SpookDroid . No I'm using the original theme. When I go to the application manager. I don't see apps as the playstore. For example the new version of kik messenger is green icon but I still have the old icon

 

[SpookDroid]

Does the version on App Manager match the one from the Play Store? I guess I've never paid attention to the original icons since I do use themes...

 

[Michael Mikey]

#SpookDroid . Yes It does

 

[SpookDroid]

Well, maybe the icon isn't really updated? Or try uninstalling-reinstalling? I really don't know why an icon wouldn't change unless it's themed, but the App manager should show the un-themed one,and that's part of the app, so...

 

[Michael Mikey]

#SpookDroid . Well I tried to. But the same problem. So I think there's a problem with my phone

 

[SpookDroid]

I don't think it's your phone. Tell you what. Give me an example of a couple apps that you're not seeing the right icon. I'll install on mine (if I don't have them already) and report back with how they look.

 

[Michael Mikey]

#SpookDroid . The apps are. Kik. Whatsapp. And many others

 

[SpookDroid]

OK, I use Whatsapp. What does the icon look like to you?

 

[Michael Mikey]

The old icon

 

[SpookDroid]

Well, since I don't remember when/if the icon changed or what it looked like before, that doesn't help much. So here's how it looks on mine (App Manager). It seems to match the Play Store's.

 

[Michael Mikey]

Oh same icon. But I see another one on the playstore... like stupid kik not same icon as playstore. And thanks for the help..

 

[SpookDroid]

Huh... which icon do you see on the playstore? The one I see for Whatsapp is the same I have on my phone. Are you looking at the Play Store on the web or on your phone (not that it should make a difference, though...)

 

[Michael Mikey]

Well. I think there's a problem on. My playstore. But I cleared the data. And nothing changed. See for example. The kik's icon on the Playstore. And the Icon I still have

 

[SpookDroid]

Well, I just tried it and yup, Kik installs with the white background and green text icon while the Play Store (both on the phone and on the web) shows the green background with white text. BUT if you see the screenshots from the Play Store, the Kik logo is green text, so maybe Kik updated the image on the Play Store but not the actual app icon. Since the Play Store's background is white, maybe they wanted to define their icon there more and chose to go for the green background instead.

 

[Michael Mikey]

Oh. There's many apps icons. Are different on the play store
