Soon you might be able to switch up your app icon shapes in a future Android drop.

A new 'App Shape & Layout’ menu lets users adjust home screen grid size and pick from six icon styles, including square, arch, and “complex clover.” Last week’s Android 16 beta release brought some neat behind-the-scenes improvements, with a highlight being the ability to customize your app icon shapes directly in the launcher.
