With version 5 I was able to create and shortcut\bookmark on my iPhone home screen that used the Pihole logo automaticaly. Since the upgrade from http to https I had to create a new shortcut\bookmark and now it is just a generic "P".
Is there something I can do to fix this or is it something that is referenced from the login page that has changed?
iPhone 16 pro Max, iOS 18.3.1.
I tried it on my iPhone also on iOS 18.3.1 and it displayed a logo. Try these steps:
That last one is a bit extreme but it ensures Safari doesn't have any cached icons or paths that are messing things up. It will log you out of everything if you had anything open in Safari, so make sure you're okay with that.

There's a screenshot of mine after doing the above. I've highlighted the part to pay attention to. Did that work for you?
Mine looks like that too. Until i scroll down and hit the "add to home screen". Then it is blank and ultimately an icon with a "P" in it on my home screen.
I can only imagine it has something to do with that theme you have. What is that and how have you got it? I don't recognise it. On mine when I go to the Add part, the icon shows there too.
That theme is from Apple. Edit Home Screen, edit/customize/ dark and large icon.
I had the same theme yesterday when I was on version 5 and it worked. But since I updated to version 6 and https it does not work.
It definitely has something to do with https. If I go to http it work perfect.
I'm not sure what else to suggest. I'm on the same iOS on the standard theme and both http and https home screen bookmarks show an icon for me.
It’s ok. I appreciate your assistance. This is more of an annoyance than a problem.
I just spotted that the bookmark without the logo is for the https site (edit - you did mention that, I didn't realise it may be relevant). I was testing using the http site, which would also match the V5 bookmark.
What happens if you delete it and redo as http, or just remove the http:// from the address entirely (eg 10.10.1.8/admin)? I suspect this might give you back the icon as it would match how V5 worked. You would lose the https encryption but if this is on your home network does that matter?
Its not a big deal. one way i don't get a pretty icon, and the other way i get a warning message. I know it is local and does not have huge implications, I just wanted both. Thanks for all your help.
