Hi there! I understand your Yi IoT app changed all your icons and screen layout, which must be unexpected. Just to clarify, when you say it changed your icons and screen, do you mean the app's interface looks completely different, or did it somehow affect your device's home screen icons as well? Also, did this happen right after a recent app update or after you changed any settings? This info will help me guide you better.

In the meantime, here are some general steps we can try to sort out the app interface issue:

1. Restart the App: Fully close the Yi IoT app from the recent apps menu and reopen it. Sometimes a restart refreshes the interface.

2. Check for Updates: Go to Google Play Store and see if there's a newer version of the Yi IoT app. Updating can restore interface changes caused by bugs.

3. Clear App Cache: On Android 13, go to Settings > Apps > Yi IoT > Storage & Cache > Clear Cache. This removes temporary files that might cause UI glitches.

4. Reset Settings Inside App: Look inside the app settings for any option to reset layout or display preferences back to default.

5. Reinstall the App: If none of the above helps, uninstall the Yi IoT app and reinstall a fresh copy from the Play Store.

Please try these and tell me what you observe. Also, if your device's actual home screen icons or launcher have changed (not just the Yi IoT app), that might require a different approach.

Let me know how it goes or if you have more details to share!

Apart from changing my screen and icons, Yi it did NOT download app

Thanks for the extra info! Just to confirm, are you trying to download the Yi IoT app fresh onto your Android 13 device, and it's not downloading at all, or is the issue that the app installed but isn't functioning properly? Also, are you using the Google Play Store for the download?

If the app won’t download or show up in the Play Store, here’s what I recommend as a step-by-step fix:

1. Check Android Version Compatibility: Make sure your Android 13 OS meets the app’s requirements—usually Android 5.0 or higher is fine, so your version should be compatible.

2. Clear Google Play Store Cache and Data:
- Go to Settings > Apps > Google Play Store > Storage & Cache.
- Tap Clear Cache and then Clear Storage/Data.
- Restart your phone and try downloading the Yi IoT app again.

3. Check Internet Connection: Ensure your Wi-Fi or mobile data is stable and working properly.

4. Check Storage Space: Make sure you have enough free storage on your device to download the app.

5. Try Using a Different Network: Sometimes, certain networks can block downloads—switch to another Wi-Fi or use mobile data temporarily.

6. Download from Official Sources: Always download the Yi IoT app from the official Google Play Store to avoid any unofficial versions.

If after all that the app still won’t download, you might want to:

- Check for any restrictions or parental controls on your device blocking app downloads.
- Disable VPNs or proxy apps if you have any running, as they can interfere with app store access.
- As a last resort, you could sideload the app APK from a trusted source, but only if you are comfortable and understand the security implications.

If you want, I can help walk you through some of these steps or dig deeper based on what you’ve already tried. Let me know!

Before I download the Yi iot app I need my screen and apps to go back to the way they were. What do I do?

Got it! You want to reset your Android home screen layout and app icons back to the default setup before you download the Yi IoT app. Since your device runs Android 13, here’s a straightforward way to reset your home screen layout:

1. Open Settings on your device.

2. Scroll down and tap on Apps & notifications (or just Apps).

3. Look for Default apps.

4. Tap Home app.

5. Find the launcher you are currently using (this might be “Pixel Launcher” or the manufacturer’s default launcher).

6. If available, there might be an option to Reset to default or Clear defaults for the launcher app. If so, tap that.

7. Next, go back to your device’s Settings > Apps > [Your launcher app, e.g., Pixel Launcher] > Storage & Cache and tap Clear Data or Clear Storage. This will reset your home screen layout, including app icons and widgets, back to factory defaults.

8. Restart your phone to let changes take full effect.

If your phone’s launcher or settings menu looks different or if these options aren't visible, you might want to:

- Switch temporarily to a default launcher, then clear data for that launcher.

- Or if you have a third-party launcher (like Nova Launcher or Microsoft Launcher), open its settings and look for a reset layout option inside the launcher app itself.

For some help, here are tutorials showing how to reset your Android home screen (the steps are similar on Android 13):

Once your home screen is restored, you can try downloading the Yi IoT app fresh from the Play Store. Let me know if you want me to guide you through any of these steps! Are you comfortable accessing these settings?
