IBM MaaS360 updates the app logo with subtle changes to the font in Android version 8.85 and later. The following image illustrates the modernized icons for the IBM MaaS360 apps with the new background screen on the user device.
Impact
- Branding elements: If the branding elements are configured, administrators need to review their current branding elements in accordance with the new icons or container background.
- Shortcuts for icons creation: The previously created shortcuts for the updated icons will not automatically upgrade to the new icons. After the IBM MaaS360 app is updated, end users must create new shortcuts to align with the updated UI and delete the previously created shortcuts with the old icons. To know more, see Create shortcuts for new icons.
- App Catalog update: When IBM MaaS360 apps like IBM MaaS360 Mail, IBM MaaS360 Secure Browser, are distributed in the App Catalog, it takes up to 8 days for them to update to the new icons after they are elevated to the App Store or Play Store. If a user has added IBM MaaS360 apps as enterprise apps, they must upload the latest versions of the app or manually update the app icon in the App Catalog.
