Personalized settings keep users interested. The app itself has several logos, ranging from the emblem that launched the app, called &#8220;Codename&#8221;, to the current amalgamation of orange, pink, and blue. Both Android and iPhone users have tools in their settings menu to change their icons. If you&#8217;d like to change yours, read this article for tips.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Polaroid_users_can_choose_between_app_icons\"><\/span>Polaroid users can choose between app icons<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you love the retro look of Polaroid cameras, you can change the Instagram icon to match. The original white Polaroid camera icon is now available in tan. You can also choose from minimalist and multiple color ombre versions. Instagram has a dark, light, and very dark version of the icon. You can even change the Instagram icon&#8217;s color scheme by adding your own custom background colors.<\/p>\n<p>The old Polaroid-style icons are still available. The first came out in 2010 and was updated again in 2016. The icons feature the entire camera. While the rainbow icon represents Pride, the black camera icon is more modern. The Polaroid-inspired icon isn&#8217;t available to all users. This new icon can be used as an Easter egg by Polaroid fans. The icons are also available in monochrome.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Third-party_applications_arent_a_threat_to_privacy\"><\/span>Third-party applications aren&#8217;t a threat to privacy<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;ve linked your Instagram account to another app, you&#8217;re likely not aware that third-party apps have access to your account. However, they are still able to access your media, profile information, and data. To ensure your privacy and security, you should know which third-party applications have access to your account, and how to revoke permission for any apps that are not authorized.<\/p>\n<p>Using third-party applications can have negative implications for your privacy, however. These third-party applications can contain malicious software that can remotely control your device or steal your personal information. This can have a major impact on your privacy. It&#8217;s also a good idea to only use third-party apps that you trust. Fortunately, there are a few ways to revoke third-party apps&#8217; access to your Instagram account.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Ways_to_change_Instagrams_icon_on_Android_and_iOS\"><\/span>Ways to change Instagram&#8217;s icon on Android and iOS<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>While Instagram has allowed users to change their app&#8217;s icon for some time, this feature has only been available for the app&#8217;s ten-year anniversary. The ability to change the icon is still available on iOS devices, but you have to download the Shortcuts app to make the changes. You can also choose any icon from the photo gallery or from any icon pack available. Once the icon is set, you can choose to have it appear on the home screen as the shortcut.<\/p>\n<p>To change the icon, you must be using the latest version of the Instagram app. This process works for iOS and Android devices alike, but you need to have the latest version of the app on your device. Make sure you are using the latest version of the app so that the changes are visible. Follow the steps outlined below to change the icon on your phone. You may even choose to use a different icon to distinguish your account from others.<\/p>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Shortcuts\"><\/span>Shortcuts<span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p>If you&#8217;re an Android user and would like to change the Instagram icon, there are several ways you can do it. One way is by using a third-party application. You can find several such applications in the Google Play store. Some of these apps have free features, but require in-app purchases to unlock additional features. The downside to many of these apps is that they contain in-app advertisements. However, one app that allows you to change the Instagram icon for free is X Icon Changer.<\/p>\n<p>To change the Instagram icon, open the app and select the settings option. You can select an emoji from the Settings page. Once you&#8217;ve selected an emoji, drag down until you reach the &#8220;Change Icon&#8221; page. Once there, select the image you want to replace the default icon. Once you&#8217;ve selected the image, tap &#8220;Save&#8221; to save it to your phone&#8217;s camera roll.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>How to Change the Instagram Icon The Instagram app offers users the ability to change the icons on the application.
