You can now change Signal's icon and name to make it look like another app
Signal, the popular end-to-end encrypted messaging application, has released a new version for Android that allows users to customize the app's icon and name, and even disguise it to look like another unrelated application.
In the release notes for version 6.21.3, Signal announced, “We added an iconic new way to customize the look of Signal on Android. Choose from a fun selection of fresh app icon options and colors to change how Signal will appear on your home screen”.
To change Signal's icon, users simply need to head to Signal Settings > Appearance > App icon, and choose the one they like best. This feature allows users to personalize their Signal experience and make the app stand out on their home screen.
This ability that lets users disguise Signal to look like another unrelated application can be particularly useful for users who want to keep their use of Signal private, or who want to hide the fact that they are using an encrypted messaging app.
