New app icons for all apps in One UI 6.0

[Randy747]

I hope we get new app icons for all apps in OneUI 6.0. It's been 3 or 4 years since Samsung has changed them. A new look would be great. New phone app look, messages, gallery, etc. Does anyone expect a new look this time?

I wouldn't want new icons. It would be like switching from One UI to iOS and for what purpose?

[Randy747]

Because we need a refreshing new look. All phone manufacturers and their operating systems change over time. It's been going on since smartphones were created. Go back and look at the home screens on Android when Jelly Bean and Kit Kat were new. The apps all looked different back then and they have been changing every few years since then up until now. Look at how the phone app, texting app, camera app, and gallery app, etc have all changed over time. And nobody is suggesting for it to look like iOS. Not sure where you got that idea. There needs to be new colors of the apps, and new graphics that are new and refreshing.

I didn't say that it would look like iOS, but just as different. Most non technical users like a familiar UI when they are forced to update hardware or software. They are in the majority so don't expect any drastic UI changes.

[Randy747]

Changing the appearance of apps is not a drastic change.

Exactly

[neilth]

If app icons no longer look familiar, there would be very many dissatisfied users.

[Randy747]

As I already stated, apps have been changing every few years for the last 10 years. Do a search from the very first Android OS and Samsung's very first UI and you will see them change on a regular basis. Users have continued to buy these phones year after year even after these apps keep changing, so they are obviously not dissatisfied users.

I have no problem with new icons but u can change your icons on the themes app

[WyrdGary]

Yup, use the themes app and you can change your icons to whatever you want.  I'd rather see significant improvements in apps rather than a coat of paint that does nothng.
