Modifying the displayed title of applications on Android devices involves altering the label visible on the home screen or in the app drawer. This customization does not alter the application’s internal name or its functionality, but rather provides a personalized visual identifier. For example, one might rename a generic note-taking application to something more descriptive like “Shopping List” for easier identification.
Customizing application names offers several advantages. It improves user experience by enabling more intuitive organization and quicker identification of frequently used applications. This personalization can streamline workflow and reduce visual clutter. Historically, this capability was limited to custom launchers or required root access, but more accessible methods have emerged over time.
