My Favicon in google searches wont update

[Hensmon]

The favicon I set in my basic settings is not what I see when my site appears in google results. This has been the case for years, and today I tried again to replace the file, but still no update. Any ideas on how I might fix this? The favicon appears correctly in my browser tab window.

i do not think it is your favicon that gets up there.
i think it is the ogimage for your site.
that is what shows up for mine.

my favicon for this is a white background and pipe smoker on it.

and for the site i am also staff on

this one is a guy wearing a red shirt looking through a telescope for the favicon.

edit
i think it is set here.
and it needs to be bigger than the favicon.
i think at least 512x512?


also it may take a while to get updated.

the best way is to use online favicon maker, it will generate all needed image files, google will pick one & resize it to 28x28px itself
