> Because a flower for photos is not a connection that many people can intuitively make

This icon only makes sense if you used earlier versions of iOS where the icon was an actual photo of a flower. Objectively bad design.

What makes it 10x worse for me is that the desktop Slack app icon looks 90% identical.

The Photos app icon is a blurred version of the Slack app icon. Ugh.

Edit: put them next to each other and took a screenshot to underline my post above: https://imgur.com/jPFJMx4
