Install a new launcher. Since Android is one of the operating systems that offers the most customization options for users, there are hundreds or even thousands of ways to change icons. The easiest way is to install a new app launcher – which changes the design of the Android home screen. If you have a third-party launcher, you can often install more icon packs with more Android customization options than what’s available on your phone or tablet.

• To find a new launcher, you would open the Play Store and search for “Launcher”. Tap a launcher to read reviews and see screenshots.

If you can’t find a way to get icon packs from the launcher, open Google Play, then search for the launcher’s name and the keyword “icon packs”. If you use a popular launcher, you’ll find tons of free (and paid) options!
