Is it possible to use a different Favicon than my App Icon?

My App Icon is using the wordmark version of my logo, with the text of the product name included as part of the logo. However, at the favicon size, the text isn’t readable.

I have a different logo that is just abstract shapes, which I’d like to use as my favicon (while keeping my App Icon as the wordmark). Is there a way to do this?

Basically I want the login screen to show the wordmark, the app icon when saved to home screen to be the wordmark, and everywhere else on the site to show the wordmark. But for the web browser favicon, it should be the logo with no words.

I think there are 3 logos you can upload in one app:

Sign-in logo: Only for the sign-in screen (located in Settings > Sign-In Screen).

Icon: Shows up as the favicon, and the icon when users install it to their devices.

Logo: Shows up on the nav bar.

Icon & Logo are in Settings > Name & Icon.

That’s my observation after some minutes, maybe someone has a better idea.

Thanks @ThinhDinh! Yeah, that’s what I’m seeing as well. The “Sign In Logo” is a good find! I had missed there was a separate field for that.

But the other part of what you’re describing is exactly the problem I’m running into:

Shows up as the favicon, and the icon when users install it to their devices.

It would be great if the favicon could be different from the logo that is saved to the home screen on someone’s device. They’re completely different sizes, so I’m surprised they’re being combined as the same image field.

It sounds like this isn’t possible at the moment, so maybe that makes this a request!
