T-Mobile has slowly been transitioning away from the T-Mobile app, which it introduced 12 years ago. Since its rollout early this year, T Life has been assimilating the features of the OG T-Mobile app. The carrier has now taken another step to let customers still clinging to the T-Mobile app know that it's time to switch to T Life.
The T-Mobile app has been renamed to "Legacy T-Mobile" on users' phones and the icon color has been changed from the cheerful magenta to an ominous black.

The app icon being changed to black happened a week or so ago.
Looks like the app was just updated today or yesterday to also add “legacy” to the app name.

The app has stopped functioning for some users. One user says that when they tap on the app, they are redirected to T Life.
Earlier this month, T-Mobile's Consumer Group President Jon Freier said that the company was consolidating other apps into T Life to transform it into a super app. It was also revealed that the company had set a goal of 40 million installs by the end of the year.
They confirmed me that T Mobile app will be become inaccessible as of March 2025 when they will force everyone to move over to T Life app.

One Reddit user says that they were told by someone from the company that the T-Mobile app will be killed in March 2025. So, even though the app name and icon have been changed for some, it's not entirely dead yet.
