How to Change the GB WhatsApp Icon in V18.80

The default green GB WhatsApp icon may not match your phone's theme. You might prefer a blue or red design, a darker look, or a different icon that fits your home screen.

GB WhatsApp offers launcher icon customization in some builds, so you may be able to change the app's appearance without reinstalling it. If you're using version 18.80, start with the built-in settings below. Menu names and available designs can vary between releases.

How to Change the GB WhatsApp Icon in V18.80

First, check whether your installed version includes the launcher icon option.

1. Open GB WhatsApp on your Android phone.
2. Tap the three-dot menu in the upper-right corner.
3. Open GB Settings.
4. Go to Universal, then look for Styles (Look and feel).
5. Find Launcher Icons or a similarly named app icon option.
6. Browse the available designs and select the one you prefer.
7. Return to your home screen to check whether the icon has changed.

If your version uses a different menu layout, look through the appearance or customization settings for an icon-related option.

You do not need to change your chat theme just to change the launcher icon. These settings control different parts of the app's appearance.

Which GB WhatsApp Icon Style Should You Choose?

The available designs depend on your particular build. Here are some styles you might want to look for.

Blue or Red Icons

A blue icon can complement a cool-toned wallpaper, while red offers a stronger contrast against a neutral home screen. If your installed version includes these designs, select one from its icon library.

Black or Dark Icons

A darker icon can suit a minimalist or dark home screen. However, a dark icon may be harder to spot against a black wallpaper, so consider the contrast before applying it.

Classic Green Icon

If you prefer the familiar WhatsApp look, the classic green design is an obvious choice. It also works well with most standard Android home screens.

Alternative Logo Designs

Some GB WhatsApp builds include additional logo styles. The exact selection isn't guaranteed in every V18.80 package, so check the icons available in your installed app rather than expecting a fixed collection.

Why Can't I Find the Change Icon Option?

If you have followed the steps but cannot find Launcher Icons, there are several possible explanations.

Your build uses a different settings layout. GB WhatsApp packages may organize customization options differently. Check the Universal and appearance-related settings before assuming the feature is missing.

Your version doesn't include the option. Not every package distributed under the GB WhatsApp name necessarily contains the same features. Confirm the version information shown in your app and check the release information from the source you originally used.

You're looking in the wrong customization section. Theme settings generally control the app's interface, such as chat colors and backgrounds. Launcher icon settings concern the app logo displayed on your phone's home screen.

Avoid installing another APK just because you cannot locate the option. First, establish whether your current build actually supports it.

What If the GB WhatsApp Icon Doesn't Change?

If you've selected a different design but still see the original green icon, try these checks.

• Return to the home screen: Check the actual app icon rather than an icon shown only inside the settings menu.
• Close and reopen the app: Some builds or launchers may need to refresh before the change becomes visible.
• Restart your phone: If the launcher continues displaying the old icon, a restart may help refresh the home screen.
• Check for duplicate icons: Make sure you're looking at the GB WhatsApp app you changed, especially if multiple messaging apps are installed.

If the icon remains unchanged, the feature may not be working with your particular build or launcher. Avoid clearing app data or reinstalling the app as an initial troubleshooting step.

Does Changing the GB WhatsApp Icon Affect Chats or Notifications?

Changing the launcher icon is a visual customization. It should not require you to change your phone number, register a new account, or modify your chat settings.

However, the icon itself and the app's notification icon are not necessarily the same thing. Changing the home screen logo does not guarantee that the icon shown in your notification bar will also change.

Because GB WhatsApp is a third-party modified application, its behavior can differ between builds. Back up important chats before making broader app changes, particularly before updating or reinstalling the APK.

Also, changing the icon does not make the app official or remove the security and account risks associated with modified WhatsApp clients.

Can You Restore the Original GB WhatsApp Icon?

Yes, if your version provides a default icon option.

1. Open GB WhatsApp and enter GB Settings.
2. Return to the Launcher Icons or app icon menu.
3. Select the original or default design, if available.
4. Return to the home screen and check the result.

If you used a third-party Android launcher to customize the icon instead, restore the default icon through that launcher's settings.

You generally shouldn't need to reinstall GB WhatsApp just to restore its original appearance.

Make GB WhatsApp Match Your Home Screen

If you're using GB WhatsApp V18.80, check the built-in launcher icon settings before trying external customization tools. A built-in option is the simplest approach when your particular build supports it.

Choose a color that contrasts with your wallpaper, and remember that changing the launcher icon is separate from changing chat themes, message bubble colors, or notification icons. If the option isn't available in your installed version, verify the build's features before trying another APK.
