Hi! I have just replaced my app icon with a custom made icon. It has been a few hours, but the favicon is not yet updated. I tried several browsers and clearing cache etc. The usual workarounds in websites I can’t use in Glide. How do I get my favicon to display the new app icon? ---

It is random, just give it hours or even days ---

I usually don’t expect it to update on its own. I think it gets permanently cached in the browser and in the OS. What I usually do first is clear the app storage and cache in the app settings, then I uninstall the app, then I go to the browser and clear the cache for my app’s url. After all of that, I go to the app’s url in the browser. At that point it will show me the installation pop-up, and when I install it again, then the favicon is correct. ---

I have checked all the settings of the app, but can’t find a way to clear the cache of the app. Or do you mean the browser cache? ---

I think Jeff did mean the browser cache. Try clearing the cache of the browser you used to install the app (normally Safari for iOS and Chrome for Android). ---

I meant both on Android and in the Browser. First I go into the android settings → Apps&Notifications → Select my app → Force stop → Open Storage & Cache to clear both → Then uninstall the app. Second, I then go into the browser settings and clear the browser cache for that specific app url. ![Screenshot_20220105-193706~2](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex002/uploads/glideapps/original/3X/7/9/79eeddfdaf05be28d8755580564e54cc206dbf37.png) ---

Thanks for sharing, I didn’t know we can do this with web apps as well.
