Android O (8) allows you to change the format of application icons natively, without the need to download themes or install launchers on your smartphone. You can choose from five image styles: traditional, square, square with rounded corners, circle and tear. It is worth mentioning that in order to work, it is necessary that developers make available the adaptive options for their apps.
