Signal, Grindr, and other apps have a feature called "App Cloaking" that lets you change the app icon. This can help in contexts where simply having the app would arouse suspicion and put the user at risk, for example at a stop by the authorities (who are often not very thorough). Users have asked for this.

Got some feedback on this from the potential user who requested it and it seems all good!

I left a few notes on the icons. I think we want most of them to be as generic as possible.
