Favicon not showing up when running my React project

Favicon not showing up when running my React project. However, when I click index.html, the icon appears. When I call npm start, when localhost opens I see my pages without icons. I tried every way and even though I made many changes, I could not reach the result. I will be glad if you help.

The file structure of my project is as follows. file structure

and index.html file

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
  <head>
    <meta charset="utf-8" />
    <link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico" /> 
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1" />
    <meta name="theme-color" content="#000000" />
    <meta
      name="description"
      content="Web site created using create-react-app"
    />
    <link rel="stylesheet" href="https://cdnjs.cloudflare.com/ajax/libs/font-awesome/4.7.0/css/font-awesome.min.css">

Just add version parameter for the favicon path to force your browser to refresh the pic

<link rel="icon" href="favicon.ico?v=2" />

Then you can delete it, the icon will remain.

Your icons should be in public folder. For importing correctly you have to start all your paths with "%PUBLIC_URL%/myIcon.ico" and this "%PUBLIC_URL%" will be resolved into public folder (where your index.html is placed by default).

(inside index.html on public folder) exemple: <link rel="icon" href="%PUBLIC_URL%/logo.png" />
