Although one of the innovations of Android 13 is precisely its design, among other top features, it has a major flaw that can make you think long before updating your device or doing what we are going to tell you about.
This flaw in Google’s design that we are talking about is something that should worry you if you have a Google Pixel with Android 13 because it does not happen on other devices and we will explain what it is and why it only occurs on these mobiles.
The icons are the same when changing color
The big problem with Android 13 that we only see on Google Pixels, even if it’s a bug in the new operating system, is that all the icons are the same when applying the color change. You will notice it when you change color , when you will go from having some custom icons to others in which you will have to find where each of the apps you have installed on your mobile is.
In other smartphones this is not seen because thanks to the customization layers they have, the icons are not confused. For example, on a Xiaomi, Samsung or Oppo mobile, among others, you will not notice it. However, in mobiles manufactured by Google it is something that stands out too much to go unnoticed.
We too have had the problem.
If you do not change the color you may not notice it, however, the moment you do you will appreciate what I am telling you. This happened to me with the Google Pixel, but not on another mobile that I have tested. When applying the color change to brand mobiles, the icons are the same and it is very difficult to find the icon of the app that I want to use . It can take a while to figure out or be very confusing, so the mobile experience in this case is quite unsatisfactory.
At first, due to the rush, when you click on a shortcut or icon on the screen, you end up clicking on an application when you really want to find another, believe me, it can happen. After that, I would directly spend time looking for her. Now it costs me a little less because I have already customized it to know where each one of them is or I have the ones I use the most at hand. And with the new apps that I install it’s more of the same . If you tend to have new new apps frequently it can be chaos.
Although in the end you end up getting used to it, or you don’t have any other choice and directly avoid changing the color by customizing it to your liking because you don’t want to ‘break your head’, the truth is that it is a very serious Google bug that should be fixed as soon as possible. There are not a few problems that usually occur in these mobiles to add this to when you update or receive Android 13.
Keep in mind that, if they do not solve it, the problem may be even greater in the future because there are some apps that are not adapted to the new Android 13 icons, so this can become even more confusing as soon as you do it. do.
