Use of 64pt and 68pt iOS App Icon Sizes

Hi there!

Back with Xcode 14 and iOS 16 there were two new app icon sizes introduced to iOS:

  • 64pt @2x (128x128px)
  • 64pt @3x (192x192px)
  • 68pt @2x (136x136px)

What are those icons used for?

Neither the Xcode 14 release notes nor the Human Interface Guidelines are mentioning those sizes and what they are used for.

In previous Xcode versions the asset catalog had labels for each icon size. As Xcode 15 still doesn’t bring that feature back I’m still puzzled when those icon sizes are visible to the user.

Best! – Alex
