[Bug] Favorites sometimes get an incorrect icon
Describe the bug
Sometimes favorites on the home screen get the incorrect icon assigned. They may be correct at initial setup, but at some point, undetermined, the icon may change to that of another favorite. This appears to have been reported back in 2020 (and fixed?) in IOS (issue #794), but I'm still seeing the issue in Android as of today. It occurs on multiple devices and has different incorrect favorite icons (even though the devices are synced).
How to Reproduce
The attached image shows three favorites. The first (BBC News) has inherited that of BBC Sport, while the 3rd one (Solus) has inherited what I think was that of BBC news.
Version of Duckduckgo is 5.224.0
Expected behavior
I expect all favorites to retain their correct icon.
Environment
- DDG App Version: 5.224.0
- Device: Samsung Galaxy Tab S7 (and Honor 9)
- OS: Android 13 (and Honor 9)

Mixing BBC favorites images is not a functional issue but rather an implementation detail. When two favorites share the same domain, the highest-quality logo is applied to both, even if they have different logos. However, the issue with the Solus forum icon mixing with BBC News is a real problem. This has been reported, and we’ll prioritise and work on a fix as soon as possible. Thanks for reporting @aj8xr0 !
Hello,
I have the same issue on Android 15. I was not able to reproduce it, and it only happens rarely :( However, it also happens two favourites use different domains.
Same issue, Android 15. Reddit is slowly replacing other icons one by one over the weeks. Removing and adding bookmarks back fixes the issue only temporarily.
I still have this issue in version 5.241.0. It works both directions, so it doesn't seem to be related to the "highest quality icon for that domain." Here, I started with a correct Spelling Bee icon, then it swapped to the Wordle icon when I added the Wordle bookmark, then Wordle swapped to Spelling Bee when I deleted and re-added Spelling Bee.
