    Apologies if there is an ongoing or concluded discussion on this, I tried to use the search function.

    I installed the WordPress App on my Android today and was surprised to notice that it doesn’t support themed icons.

    That’s a bit disappointing because it’s not that much work (as programmers have told me) for a clear benefit in optics and user friendliness. Is there a reason for this lack of functionality, or has it simply not been requested enough?

    If I had any relevant skills I would contribute them, but I’m the kind of person that fills the blog with text, not the person who can do anything with code or graphic design.

    Hello there, Sebastian from Jetpack here. I hope you are doing well.

    As you mentioned that feature is not yet develop on our mobile app. There is Github thread opened where you can add your request:

    https://github.com/wordpress-mobile/WordPress-Android/issues/18041

    We cannot give an ETA of when this will be developed, but you can follow that thread to find any updates related.

    I hope this helps; have a nice day,

    Hi there,

    Quick update: this has since been addressed in the WordPress Android app.

    Support for Android 13+ themed (monochrome) icons was added, so please make sure you’re running Android 13 or newer and that the WordPress app is fully up to date from the Play Store. Once enabled at system level, the app icon should follow the system theme.

    Best regards,
