We have around 1,2 Mo of Webp images on Android, some can be replaced by assets from Google Fonts and others can be migrated to SVG manually.
Some can be reused in different case

Example: Cancel icon can be removed and use close icon

Using Google Icons is more adapted if in the future we migrate to Material You
I have seen we have a lot of icons for location button animation and loading routing calculation, is it possible to simplify this?

On Google Fonts, do you want to use Material Icons or Material Symbols? (Material Symbols is more modern and offers more settings before export icons)

Reducing the apk size is NOT the main priority now compared to many other issues. Nobody complained so far about some kilobytes of images.

Agree. Maps is heavy itself. It is not important to shrink an app size.

Using Google Icons is more adapted if in the future we migrate to Material You I have seen we have a lot of icons for location button animation and loading routing calculation, is it possible to simplify this?
* On Google Fonts, do you want to use Material Icons or Material Symbols? (Material Symbols is more modern and offers more settings before export icons)

Maybe even both. It's hard to say before seeing the difference for each particular icon.

Google Fonts offers two collections as icon fonts: Material Icons and Material Symbols. The Material Symbols font is the variable version of the Material Icons font, combining over 2,000 glyphs into a single font file with a wide range of design variants, adjusted by variable axes.

Some examples of difference:

Material Symbols	Material Icons

Material Symbols offer more variants of icons and some icons are more simplify than Material Icons
Doing this improves the quality of icons, especially on Android Auto (Sound icons for example)

Some examples of difference: |Material Symbols|Material Icons| |-|-| ![search_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz24](/uploads/dfbfc6fa3bcb9405730927ad4d78060d/373feebe-40f1-419e-9a95-577f771d0218)|![search_black_24dp](/uploads/3f7e34b4987022759dac1853ac5deae1/883fac4d-907a-4b86-9370-93cf7c25fb46)| |![settings_FILL0_wght400_GRAD0_opsz24](/uploads/652beb7f1bc3f15ab5bc026d66b52dd1/1c98f9e1-54d7-4eb4-8604-a7709c38676b)|![settings_black_24dp](/uploads/6e3a0e6cb6a222225e73a8a31acf2fc8/1696305f-2c2d-4495-824b-9e8ccc11423d) Material Symbols offer more variants of icons and some icons are more simplify than Material Icons Doing this improves the quality of icons, especially on Android Auto (Sound icons for example)

Icons present here https://github.com/organicmaps/organicmaps/tree/master/android/app/src/main/res/drawable-xxxhdpi
I'm not sure it's a good idea to mix Google Icons with Apple Icons
IMO, somes icons like car or bike icons don't to be update to keep visual identity of OM.

If they look good together, then it's ok. Need to check/compare, of course, if it's better or not.
