In context

Why people actually use Custom Launcher Icons

Custom Launcher Icons changes the GB WhatsApp Pro app icon on your home screen — useful if you want it to look like a different app (a calculator, notes, a contacts app) so it does not stand out, or if you just want a visual tweak. The bundled gallery includes a generic green icon, a black-and-white version, several retro WhatsApp logos, and disguise icons. Changing the launcher icon does not affect anything inside the app — it is purely the home-screen appearance.
