Only if the app allows it. Or if you jailbreak.

You can technically change icons with the shortcuts app.

Keeping in mind that you will only have the shortcut on the Home Screen, while the App Library still has whatever garbage Reddit decided.

Thats good to know. I've never actually set up shortcuts icons. This would be an even stupider use case considering you need a weird work around just to use an apps "default" icon.
