OnePlus and Samsung counts as the top tech makers in the world. Both manufacturers implement dynamic features in their devices. However, OnePlus efficiently overtakes the Korean company in some aspects. For instance, OxygenOS 13 let its users customize the icon shapes while Samsung doesn’t have any such feature to date.
On a detailed exploration of the OxygenOS 13 features, we found a variety of customization and user interface features that several OEMs lack in their devices. One of the iconic functions is that with OxygenOS 13 you can customize the app icon shapes. It not only supports the system applications but third-party apps as well.

Icon Shape customization
So how it works? Well, you get three regular shape options with the latest operating system. These shapes include Aquamorphic, Material Style, and an easy Pebble layout. Being regular in shape, it gives a classy look to the icons.
Thereafter comes the custom option that hides numerous shapes for icon customization. In this option, you can opt for the rounded square, octagonal, leaflet, squared circle, or squared oval shape. Accordingly, these shapes exhibit an attractive layout in your OnePlus handset, which you won’t find in other smartphones.
Not only the shapes but you can also drift the icon and font size for the apps. You can adjust the “App Name” slider between small, default, medium, large, and extra large options. In case you have a smarter memory, you can turn off the “Show App Names” toggle to hide the application’s name.
How to access the icon customization
To give a new look to the mini display portals on your device, you can navigate your fingers to the Settings menu. Further, follow the below-given options:
- Go to the Settings app
- Select the Wallpaper & Style
- Click on the Icons option
Here, you will find several ways to change and convert the app icon’s shape. As for Samsung, we cannot say when the One UI software will bring such an option for the users. But OnePlus smartphone users with OxygenOS 13 are quite lucky in this matter.
