Can anyone help me diagnose why my favicon (the one that appears in my Chrome bookmarks bar for my app) keeps disappearing?
First, make sure it meets the criteria in the Bubble documentation: Visual settings | Bubble Docs
Then, try clearing your Chrome browser cache. Also, it will only show if you’re in a paid Bubble plan. If it shows in your app’s test version but not its live version, did you redeploy your app after adding the favicon? And if so, did you reload the page afterward?

Thank you so much for all the tips. My app is on the paid Growth plan, my favicon image is a PNG, and it does fit Bubble requirements. I’ve recently deployed major updates, and so I refresh the page quite a bit, but this was happening before the updates.
Sometimes it works and the favicon appears, and then in the same session, when I click somewhere in the app (single page application) it will disappear and be replaced by the generic white world icon.
I am starting to wonder if it has something to do with the URL parameters that I use for navigation, since I am not 100% sure I have that all set up correctly. I would be grateful for any other ideas!
I just realized that if I bookmark my root URL (without any URL parameters), the favicon stays in the bookmarks bar, but it still doesn’t show up in the tab (I assume because I have a default view that loads if the URL parameters are empty).
I don’t know what that means, but it seems like part of the puzzle.
You know what, I am embarassed to say that my favicon was actually in .ico format, when I thought it was .png. Problem solved!
