The Gmail application has an option to change the user's display photo within the platform. The feature, which is available in the iPhone app (iOS) and Android devices, allows you to use a new photo taken with the device's camera or any image saved in the library. In this way, it is possible to customize the profile picture of Gmail simply and quickly, without the need to access the email manager from the computer.
It is important to know that the procedure to be followed will also simultaneously change the photo of your Google account. That is, all services that you are linked to the search engine will display the same image. Check out how to change your Gmail profile photo in the tutorial we prepared.
