# Change the Murudo icon on your phone

If you see App icon in Privacy and security, you can make Murudo look like a calculator, notes or another plain app on your phone.

If your Murudo has an **App icon** section, you can swap the Murudo icon, and the name under it, for a plain one such as Calculator or Notes. It is in the Android app only, and only in newer versions.

## Change the icon

1. Open the **Profile** tab and tap **Settings**.
2. Tap **Privacy and security**.
3. Scroll to the bottom. **App icon** is the section after **Security**.

4. Tap the icon you want: **Murudo**, **Calculator**, **Notes**, **Calendar**, **Weather**, **Clock** or **Files**.
5. Tap **Change icon** to confirm.

Murudo may close when the icon changes. Open it again from the icon with the new name. If the old icon was on your home screen, it may be gone: find the new one in your app list and add it to your home screen again.

To go back, do the same and choose **Murudo**.

## If you do not see App icon

Your installed version does not include it. Small updates that arrive by themselves cannot add it: you need a full new version from Google Play or from murudo.co. See [Update Murudo to the latest version](https://help.murudo.co/troubleshooting/update-murudo/).

## What still says Murudo

The new icon only changes how the app looks on your home screen and in your app list. The name Murudo still shows in:

- Notifications.
- Your phone's Settings, in the list of apps.
- Google Play.

To keep notifications private, turn them off. Tap **Open notification settings** under the icons, or see [Turn Murudo notifications on or off](https://help.murudo.co/settings/notifications/).

## Good to know

- Nothing changes inside the app or on your profile. Other members cannot tell which icon you use.
- The icon is set on this phone only. After reinstalling, the app has the Murudo icon again.
- If you see **App icon not changed**, try again.
- For a stronger lock, also turn on [the app lock](https://help.murudo.co/settings/app-lock/), so the app asks for your fingerprint or face when it opens.
