Are there any other apps that have animated or changing icons? I only know the Apple ones , calendar and clock.
Apple has not made the necessary APIs available. Only those two apps have animated icons. They’re made by Apple and so they are able to use the private APIs needed to do it.
I’m honestly shocked the Weather icon doesn’t just show the current weather at this point.
Sounds funny. Now I want to see that. But I guess some people could be confused if to many icons changed to much.
No, there’s no API for that
I remember reading somewhere that only the clock and calendar icons update, because they can do so without requiring internet connection and draining battery life in order to update. At least that was supposed to be the reading a long time ago (I think still in the Steve Jobs era)
