I learned something new today! I didn't know you could change apps on Android and now I feel a bit silly.

This is shortcuts on iOS, it has a few limitations like no notification badges

“no notification badges”

hell that’s a feature!

For what it’s worth, you can turn that off for any app without going through the hassle of setting up a shortcut. It’s in the Notification settings for each app.

oh I know, it takes forever to go through and disable all except the few you actually want to bother you at any time. I would prefer to opt-in to the ones I use instead of the other way around.

No notifications, and a banner popover when you run it, which some people will find annoying

It’s an easy way to get started with your first shortcut though!

Lots of Android launchers let you freely customize icons

And names, I always rename those "My Company" apps to just "Company" so I can find them back in the list. That "My ..." stuff is so annoying.

Sweet idea, I can't believe I've never thought of it before!

You can always install an earlier .APK. Find, download, open. And hope it wasn't something someone riddled with malware.

Don’t feel silly!
