Instagram has introduced a new feature where you can customise your app icon – here’s how to change it on your Android device.
It’s been ten years since the launch of Instagram and over the course of a decade, the site has become a favourite photo-sharing social media app for many users around the world.
To mark its 10-year anniversary, Instagram has added a whole new feature where people can change their icon to any of the icons that the app has ever used.

- If you scroll up and it doesn’t work, restart your phone and try again

The new icon is different for Android phones
When you pick up your new Instagram icon, you will realise that it’s slightly different for Android devices.
Instead of replacing your current icon, you will create a shortcut to Instagram with your new logo.
Therefore, your icon will look different to the ones on iOS phones as you will have your normal Instagram icon displayed on the one you chose.
How many icons can you choose from?
There are 13 icons that you can choose for your new Instagram look, including the current one.
Instagram has brought back the Classic and Classic 2 from 2010 and 2011, while you also have the original one when the app was launched in 2010.
Some of the rest are Twilight, Sunrise, Pride, Gold, Aurora and others.
