Calendar app icon to display the current {day of week} and {day of month}
Background
The Proton Calendar app on iOS (and presumably Android )currently appears like a blueish/purple square with a small "31" in the bottom right corner. The "31" is static and doesn't change.
The official Apple Calendar app icon has the name of the day (e.g. "SAT") and the day of the month (e.g. "13") on the icon itself, making the app icon useful at a glance without even requiring the user to open the app.
Proposal:
It would be very cool and very useful if the "31" on the Proton Calendar app icon actually changed to represent the current day of the month. It would be even better if the Proton Calendar icon could be redesigned to show the same information as the Apple Calendar icon.
Conclusion:
As it currently stands, I need to keep the Apple Calendar icon on my iOS screen simply because it's useful, even if I intend to use the Proton Calendar app for my actual day-to-day work. This is a minor annoyance but it would be satisfying to finally be able to remove the Apple Calendar app from my iOS screen.

Nathan, this is not possible because of iOS limitations. That is a specific workaround that Apple develops for their own apps like Calendar and Clock. Sorry.
