Favicon not showing up properly on mobile devices (https://worldsanskrit.net)
Closed, InvalidPublic

Description

Hi,

We were able to change our site's favicon (https://worldsanskrit.net) and it is working well on a PC, but it still doesn't seem to be working on mobile browsers or when links are posted to apps like WhatsApp. Is there some other setting that we need to change?

Also, is it possible to change the link description as well to a custom one?

Thanks!

I see the new favicon (https://static.miraheze.org/samskritavyakaranamwiki/a/ab/Vi_Icon_big.JPG) on a mobile device.
Can you please try clear cache or try incognito mode?

Still doesn't seemed to be getting picked up

does Apple not like the JPG format?

Apple seems to utilize a different type of image, ignoring the favicon. Set $wgAppleTouchIcon in Special:ManageWiki/settings -> Styling to your logo to fix this.
