Android app developers do n’t always play by the rules when it comes to icon size of it , which can leave the base screen looking like a chip of mess . But now Google is forcing icons to bear a incorporated size , please design pedants everywhere .

Google has rule of thumb about icon dimensions for Android , but developer often cut them . Anew update for the Google Now launcher — the nonpayment plate screen for pure Android devices — automatically adjusts every ikon to a individual size . That means that the weirdly over - sized app icons you sometimes see ( such as the Bank of America one in the image above ) now sit nicely alongside Google ’s standardized nontextual matter .

Google Now has finally been update to auto - rotate to horizontal manner , too .
