The below pic is an icon for my straight dope app. The “SD” you see used to fill the whole square. And recently the SD keeps getting smaller and smaller and smaller until you can barely see it. Lol, what is going on here? [![](https://i.imgur.com/oLgnwqb.jpg) ](https://i.imgur.com/oLgnwqb.jpg) ---

It will send you notifications if someone responds to your posts or threads Also it’s easier to access than a browser. Click the icon and it takes you right where you wanna be. And TBTB recommended it for reasons I can’t remember ---

Discourse works a lot better on mobile than vBulletin, but some folks prefer the app for mobile devices. Either works, so it’s down to personal preference (IMHO). ---

It’s so tiny now, less than half the size of the picture in the OP. I’m curious to see if it disappears entirely. ---

If it continues to shrink to nothingness, I’m blaming @Gatopescado . Because his avatar is a white square. I always knew he has untapped powers. Bad, bad, bad Catfish!! ---

The Discourse developers appear to have been notified in their own bug report forum. > **[Android app icon shrinking over time](https://meta.discourse.org/t/android-app-icon-shrinking-over-time/238648)** > > Did a brief search for various iterations of android, icon, shrink, discourse - and no love…just a post about someone unable to get transparency working. Android app for a few of my users has been gradually shrinking our site logo a few % each... I imagine we’ll see a fix here soon-ish. ---

Nice find. Someone says you can just recreate the icon to restore the image, though likely just restarting the shrink clock. That’s too much effort for me, though, besides which the shrinking is funny. ---
