GoKawiilX app update adds more than a dozen new app icon choices
X released an iPhone and iPad app update that replaces its existing alternative app icon set with over a dozen new options, including several space-themed designs. The new icons, accessible to X Premium subscribers under Settings > Subscription > App Icons, mark the first significant refresh of icon choices since Twitter was rebranded as X.
GoKawiil's interpretation of the reporting above, not reported fact.
The update suggests X continues to use cosmetic perks like icon customization to maintain value for its Premium subscription tier. It also signals ongoing, if incremental, product maintenance on the app even as the platform's branding transition from Twitter to X continues to unfold years later.
- X added over a dozen new alternative app icons for iPhone and iPad.
- The icons are available to X Premium subscribers via Settings > Subscription > App Icons.
- This is the first major icon refresh since the Twitter-to-X rebrand.
