So you can change the icon of the Instagram application
Table of contents:
Now that iOS 14 has brought icon customization fever back to mobile, it seems that Instagram wants to join this trend. But in a slightly particular way. And it is that the social photography network is preparing a surprise (which is not so much anymore) to celebrate its tenth anniversary: wants you to customize the icon of its application on your mobile with the aspect you preferAnd yes, you can set a “remember” with the classic camera icon.
At the moment it is still a surprise because no one has officially talked about it from Instagram. In fact, it seems that the function is in development, giving its last throes before reaching all users. This was discovered by a researcher who has dived into the code of the latest updates to his application The good news is that, if you can't wait to find out how it's going to be this function we already have images of it.
Changing Instagram Icon
We must thank Alessandro Paluzzi, who has shared on his Twitter account the images of this feature that is about to reach users around the world. Or that is what is expected. According to this developer, this Instagram function will land directly in the settings menu of the social network. Here a new section called icon will appear, and it is marked precisely with the logo of the Instagram camera that we all know.

When entering the menu we will find a message to celebrate the tenth anniversary of the history of this social network. They are pleased to have achieved such a feat and offer users to choose between up to 11 different application icons Some seen in the past and other options that vary in tone and design.
With this, each user can choose an icon to change the appearance of the application logo. Among all of them, the clásicos stand out because, for those of us who have already combed some gray hair and have witnessed the creation of this social network, nostalgia weighs heavily. There are also very striking minimalist options.Although perhaps, for day-to-day use, the most attractive thing is to use the logos of different color gradients. Something you can combine or contrast with your wallpaper.

At the moment we only know that this function will be available for mobiles with Android 8.0 onwards However, in the absence of official confirmation , we do not have a definitive date for the arrival of this feature. It is hoped that it will also land on the iPhone, especially now that icon customization is the order of the day.
