Has the app icon refresh been fixed. Greyed out icons continues having to refresh like the phone is out of memory.
I also interested in a possible fix the same problem on macOS. In the initial 26.0 release icons periodically refresh/flickers everywhere in the os.
This was quite normal in the old days on windows (pre win10), strange to see similar on a Mac.
