The reason this is necessary is that sometimes the iOS Photos app automatically converts transparent backgrounds to white, so it's necessary to paste instead of just selecting a photo. You'll need to copy your transparent image to the clipboard, then after selecting the icon placement you want in Transparent App Icons, select 'Customize' then the blue '.' button, then 'Paste Image'. Hi there! You'll be happy to know that it's possible to use your own transparent overlays in Transparent App Icons, though the process is a little bit more complicated. If I’m missing something or this is changed I’d happily change my review to 5 stars!

Just an unnecessary step if you would just allow an upload feature. Your app makes it so simple to use the pre loaded icons but I have a few of my own designs that have transparent backgrounds that I would like to use over the wallpaper screenshot, but to do that I have to make it myself from the screenshot in procreate. Overall this is a great app but I am disappointed that you cannot use your own icon over the background in the customization feature.
