    How to change icon for Games & Apps groups?


    I would like to know how to add pictures to the main icon for groups I have created for my games and apps. I would prefer not to have the bland grey icon for each of the groups I have added to the home page. I do not know if there is a way to do this currently, and if there is not, I would request that it be added.

    :)

    How to change icon for Games & Apps groups?

    Hi, Darthmaulian! thank you for reaching out.

    My name is AJ, I'm an Independent Advisor for the Xbox Community.

    Unfortunately, changing a group's icon is not possible at this time. If you want to suggest an idea or give feedback to Xbox, the best way to do it is through Xbox's Idea Hub: ( https://www.reddit.com/r/xboxinsiders/wiki/ideas )

    How do I change the browse the store tile to browse your games tile?

    Hello Aaron da gamer,

    Welcome to Xbox Forums.

    We appreciate you for posting your concern with us and we truly understand how you wanted to modify your Xbox Series X home screen. Let us check and see what we can do best to help you address your concern today.

    There's one more way to customize a major aspect of your Xbox Series X/S, when you add a game to Home, you can access it easily and review related content including community activity feed posts and how you rank against your friends.

    Note: You can add up to 10 games to Home.

    To add a game to Home:

    1. Highlight a game from the Microsoft Store, my games & apps, or a game that's displayed somewhere on your home screen.
    2. Press the Menu button, and then select Add to Home.

    There are two ways you can remove a game tile from your home screen:

    • Highlight the game, press the Menu button, and then select Remove from home.
    • Go to where the game appears on your home screen, and then select the Edit icon. You can highlight the game from the list, and then press the X button to remove it.

    On the other hand, you can group your games and apps to quickly access them from My games & apps or your home screen. To learn more about creating and managing groups, visit: Group your games and apps on your Xbox console

    To add a group to home:

    1. Press Xbox button to open the guide, and then select My games & apps.
    2. Select Group, and then highlight the name of one of your existing groups.
    3. Press the Menu button, and then select add to home.

    Review the info in "reorder tiles or groups" for more details about the placement of groups on the home screen.

    Your groups will appear above your pinned games on Home. To reorder how your groups appear on the home screen, add the groups to your home screen in reverse order. For example, if you'd like for a group to appear at the top, make sure to add it to home last.

    Note: Managing the order of your groups from within My games & apps will not affect how they appear on the home screen.

    After you've added games to home, you can reorder how they appear. To do so:

    1. Go to where the game appears on your home screen, and then select the edit icon.
    2. Highlight the game that you want to move from the list, and then press the A button.
    3. Use the Direction pad (D-pad) to change the position of the selected game.
    4. Press the A button again to confirm the move.

    Is there any way to change your gamer picture with the new Xbox app?

    As of the moment, you cannot change your icon through the mobile app. Meaning the only way you can change your icon now is through a non-updated version of the app, the Xbox itself via USB, or
    the PC app.

    As of the moment, you can't change your icon through the app. You can change your icon through the system itself by saving an image on the system or using a USB or using

    the PC app
