Oh then you need to remove your

is a url, which means it should be located in the /public folder. By putting it in app folder, you don’t need the configuration anymore12 Replies

Are you using App Router or Pages Router? Notice that the favicon might not be updated instantly since it’s cached by browsers

Put the favicon.ico under your app folder, or configure the path using metadata

Where is your icon file located?
Try clear the site data and re-open the browser, sometimes it takes longer to see the new one
