### Causes and Solutions

You overwrite and use the "Shortcut" without saving each one when setting the icon in the Shortcuts app

In the Shortcuts app, you need to create one shortcut per action. In simple terms, to change the icons for "Camera" and "Phone", you need to have two shortcuts saved: one for the camera and one for the phone.

Please check the following article where it is explained in more detail with images.

What is Icon Unlock (Unlock)?

In order to use some icons, you need to unlock the icons. Tap the "Unlock" button and you can use them once conditions are cleared.

There are generally two conditions you need to clear:

  2. Join the premium plan (paid)


Also, if you join the premium plan, you can change icons stress-free without having to unlock each icon one by one. Please consider this option.

Notification Icon Is Not Displayed on the Changed / Added App Icon

The notification icon (red mark in the upper right corner) cannot functionally be displayed on the stylish icons after changing due to strict Apple regulations 🙇‍♀️💦 (this applies to icon-changing apps other than ours). What many people do is keep the icons like phone which absolutely need notification badges unchanged!

We'll implement it as soon as it's allowed by Apple, so stay tuned.
