Android
Android users have it the easiest to change icons on their respective mobile devices. This is due to the open nature of the Android OS which allows users to swap icons and the entirety of the look and feel of the home screen of the device. Users need to download a third-party launcher in order to swap newer Google icons for the older ones. Download a launcher like the ‘Nova Launcher’ or others and use it as the default home screen. Once done, long press on the Google app icon which will pop up a menu with an edit icons option. Choose the desired icon and select it to make it default.
