The best icons are behind a Reddit Premium paywall.

To add insult to injury.

Apple don't let you change app icons outside of the app? I'm not sure what's stupider, apple or Reddit. On Android I can set my icon to whatever I like in my launcher.

    Yep, you can't change app icons. The only good way to change them is to jailbreak and use a tweak or install cowabunga

    You've been able to install custom icon packs on iPhone for a couple of years now.

    Are you talking about shortcuts?

    I have not had a iPhone in a long time, so I am unsure of exactly how it works. But it has been a feature since iOS 14 to be able to change app icons on the home screen.

    Then you are probably talking about shortcuts. The way it works is you make a small program with your icon, which just tells iOS to open the program you want. The problems with that are that it doesn't display the notification count, it only applies it on your Home Screen, it will show up separately when you search for your app (the original app and the app with your icon) and it will show an annoying pop up every time you open the app
