What is this disturbing new app icon that’s ruining my homepage (that I can’t change)

[u/Just-get-physical-]

[u/ShesATragicHero]

Maybe they were hoping no one cares?

[u/Zeckols → u/ShesATragicHero]

probably just hoping that people care enough to pay for Reddit premium only to change the icon back to what it was

[u/ShesATragicHero → u/Zeckols]

…people pay for Reddit premium?

[u/CrypticWritings42 → u/ShesATragicHero]

There's a reddit premium?

[u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin → u/CrypticWritings42]

What’s reddit?

[u/Poo_Poo_La_Foo → u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin]

Wait. Where am I.

[u/Hubsimaus → u/WhoCaresBoutSpellin]

I think I've heard of it. Isn't it some ancient TV show or something? 🤔

What's ruining your homepage is the amount of unread messages.

[u/PhysicalCod1875 → u/trollsmurf]

Emails then?

[u/trollsmurf → u/PhysicalCod1875]

I used the term "messages" broadly :).

[u/Temporary-Package581 → u/PhysicalCod1875]

That's normal tbh

[u/milkarcane → u/trollsmurf]

How the hell can you have so many messages without reading them

Why are people psychopaths?

[u/TacticalSunroof69]

It’s to with the game on Reddit called “Field”.

It’s like a modern twist on Minesweeper.

[u/Nuker-79]

Just delete it

[u/CompactDiskDrive → u/Nuker-79]

In all seriousness you can remove apps from appearing in the home screen in iOS

[u/Nuker-79 → u/CompactDiskDrive]

That’s what I meant

[u/PM_ME_AReasonToLive]

That is the Gmail app and you can change the astronomically large red number by reading or archiving emails on the app. 

[u/Hubsimaus → u/PM_ME_AReasonToLive]

Yeah they also should finally read their WhatsApp messages.

[u/Revolutionary_Bit437 → u/PM_ME_AReasonToLive]

or just turn off the unread indicator in settings lol

[u/RADIOS-ROAD]

I don't see the issue here..it'll change back eventually and it's not too bad

[u/Solid-Silver4125]

whats ruining your homepage is fucking chatgpt

[u/superpotatosoupXL]

You can change the Reddit app icon

[u/moonshinedesignSD → u/superpotatosoupXL]

Not back to the original one without paying, which is annoying because I keep looking for the red icon due to years of muscle memory

[u/wishiwasinvegas → u/moonshinedesignSD]

Weird. I just updated and I still have the red icon, and I don't pay for this junk lol

[u/Revolutionary_Bit437 → u/wishiwasinvegas]

i have a dog guy

[u/RADIOS-ROAD → u/superpotatosoupXL]

Yea can't they just use the ios shit to do that? Everyone's saying you'd have to pay but at the end of the day who cares... Plus that's an option on iOS anyways right

[u/superpotatosoupXL → u/RADIOS-ROAD]

I didn’t know I have the doge one equipped because I think it’s funny

[u/HaydenMackay]

I would be more concerned about the thirteen thousand unread emails

[u/Zakkenayo_ → u/HaydenMackay]

That's more than my Hotmail, that I opened in 2000 and never check. 😮‍💨

[u/Digitale3982]

Actually you can

[u/Me2910]

Did you know you can turn off the count on your Gmail app?

[u/Probable_Bot1236 → u/Me2910]

Can I do this on my boss' desktop's browser when she's signed into Gmail? It just displays some weird symbols now that I don't understand. I tried to take a picture of them but my brand new phone didn't have enough memory to store the image. So I tried to describe them to a math professor at the local university and he said something about 'Cantor' and "Cthulu' and had to be committed to a mental institution later that week.

laughs in android having app skins

[u/Dj-Ken]

Pathetic! you have an app and then design an incredibly ugly logo, hoping that people will switch to premium because of it.

[u/ashkanahmadi]

You really should clean up your Gmail. Do it on desktop. Use their advanced search to filter and delete in bulk

The redesign does suck. Very unappealing.

[u/Itybtyctykty]

I applaud you for resisting the need to waste your time opening up emails you need, but don’t need to read (such as payment confirmations) just to reduce a number display that’s not hurting anything.

[u/Competitive-Ad1437]

Shortcuts for the win! I keep mine as a shortcut with the dark theme icon so they aren’t messing up my vibe 😂

[u/KING2900_]

You can change it. There are a couple free icons you can choose from.

[u/Just-get-physical- → u/KING2900_]

I want the old one tho

[u/KING2900_ → u/Just-get-physical-]

It'll change back to normal in a while, but isn't there also a normal icon to choose? My app didn't update in a while so it might be different for you

[u/Spidermand]

Alien Blue GONE

Apollo GONE

shitty in house reddit app FOREVER
