    Imagine having to pay to edit an icon in your home screen

      These new ideas are exactly why they had to kill 3rd party apps. If they hadn’t, this sort of change would just push more people to adopt them.

          But that’s so much harder to do than simply taking away the options. Surely that’ll make them like Reddit more, right?

      Technically you can use Shortcuts to set whatever icon you want but it takes some effort to set up. And I don’t think it can use transparency so it’d have to take up the whole square (or out more effort into making the background of the icon match your background). And it’ll take a second longer to load the app as it goes through Shortcuts first

          Agreed completely, it’s a workaround that requires some sacrifices.
