Hi,

I have a website where the favicon is not showing in the google mobile serps. It's appearing the default icon instead (world icon).

This is the tag I have place in the head section of the website:
```
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="/favicon.ico" />
```
The size of the favicon is 48x48 and it's appearing correctly in the browser tag.

I've checked that the google robot can crawl it and in the server logs I can see requests from the "Google Favicon" user-agent.

Has anyone had this same problem? Any advice?

@dmalasp Has the icon just been added recently? Updates won't be instant remember and could take a few days.
