Hi, We recently updated our app icon, but the push notification icon has not been updated on some devices. It still shows the old icon on: • iPhone 16 Pro — iOS 26 • iPhone 14 — iOS 26 • iPad Pro 11” (M4) — iOS 18.6.2 • iPhone 16 Plus — iOS 18.5

After restarting these devices, the push notification icon is refreshed and displays the new version correctly.

Could you advise how we can ensure the push notification icon updates properly on all affected devices without requiring users to restart?

Thank you.

This is a known behavior, that the device needs to be restarted for the new icon to be used in notifications.

If you would like to file a bug report, that will let the teams gauge the extent of the issue.
