What happened to Twitter app icon? What is X?

If you've recently noticed a change in the Twitter app icon and are wondering why it now displays an "X" letter, let me explain what's going on. A lot of news has been circulating, including the fact that Elon Musk, who is now the owner of Twitter, is rebranding the platform to "X." This rebranding involves changing the name and the overall brand of the social network, which is why the Twitter app icon no longer features the bird symbol and the blue colors we're accustomed to.

If you're looking for options to revert the Twitter icon back to its original design, I must admit that it's not possible to do so natively. Even with a Twitter Blue subscription, there doesn't appear to be a way to change the app icon. Other apps like Snapchat Plus allow users to choose different icons through a subscription, but Twitter currently lacks this functionality.

However, if you're determined to change the Twitter icon, there are a few third-party apps you can use to design and customize your icons. One recommendation is the "Steamify" app (or "Theme Pack") which offers a catalog of icons to choose from. Simply open the app, browse their collection, and use their icon maker tool to create an alternative Twitter logo. While the options may be somewhat limited, it will give you an idea of what you can try out.

Once you've created your desired icon, save it and add it as an app within the app itself. Search for "Twitter" and select the appropriate result. This will allow you to set your custom icon to redirect you to the Twitter app. Install the selected items, download the app's profile, and install the profile for the desired effect.

While this solution may not replicate the original Twitter icon precisely, it offers an alternative for those who want a different look. By tapping on your newly designed icon, you will automatically be redirected to Twitter.

In conclusion, the change in the Twitter app icon is a result of Elon Musk's rebranding efforts, and unfortunately, changing it back to its original design is not currently an option. However, third-party apps like Steamify or Theme Pack can assist you in creating a personalized icon if you wish to do so.
