That the labels for the apps get truncated so you can only read “Proton” plus the first letter of the app. I’m only able to distinguish based on the icons which isn’t great because Pass and Drive are similar colors, and Pass and VPN, and Drive and Calendar are similar shapes.
idk why they shoved it right in the start, i mean i just want to check my mails man, if i want to check out proton drive or other stuff i will access them from the side bar or menu. kinda annoying move.
I was just commenting about how it’s half-assed design to just slap an existing icon against a white background and call it a day. Compare to the lawnchair icon, locus, or even the Lyft icon in your screenshot. You find the names annoying, I find the design laziness annoying. Companies do it on iOS as well (including Apple).

I’m not seeing the issue on Android. Unless it’s my GUI default text size being smaller…?
Same here. My android icons all have full names. I haven’t messed with icon or text sizing at all.
Maybe you could rename the icons through your launcher? I think Nova lets you do it. That does kinda suck tho :(
My solution -
Just as annoyed as I’m with Google’s branding icon designs.
Yet another reminder of why I love the Niagra launcher so much.
Why?
Yeah, especially seeing how on others like Lawn chair I can edit the name myself

I don’t really have any apps on my home screens or my desktop pages.
I have them into groups on mobile and I just pull them up from the start menu on desktop
On many launchers you can enable two lines for labels, so you don’t have to manually rename them.
And you can rename the labels. Or remove them completely and just rely on the app icons.
A new note app is incomming !..

I’m more a visual person. The icons are all I look at.
But all the first letters are unique. So that should work well enough, no?
Im trying to figure out why the icons all need a white circle behind them.
All of my icons are circles. Are yours not?
As with all your other questions, it depends on your Launcher

I imagine part of it on Android is for adaptive icons https://developer.android.com/develop/ui/views/launch/icon_design_adaptive
