[Feature] App Icon decoy (fake app icon) #1471

Is there an existing request for feature?

[X] I have searched the existing issues

What feature would you like?

Saw this feature on Signal (Android): Settings -> Appearance -> App Icon:

Anything else?

Since Session-Android was a fork of Signal, is it possible to easily bring this feature over here?

If you just wish to replace the icon and name, it could easily be done by using a third party launcher on Android, for example Nova Launcher. Most of these launchers could even hide the app itself.

This is being tracked internally via Jira SES-551

It's a useless feature. People expect it to be some kind of weather app and it's Session? A search warrant on your phone will reveal session regardless if you have a custom icon.
