Google is combining Gmail and Google account profile photos, here’s what this means
Google has started combining G Suite users’ Gmail photos with their Google account profile photos.
“We are combining the Gmail photo with the Google account profile photo for G Suite users. Now, when you go to change this setting in Gmail, you’ll be directed to the ‘About me’ section of your Google profile settings to set your profile picture,” the company said in a statement on Monday.
Currently, profile pictures set in Gmail are only displayed in Gmail. This means a profile picture in Gmail may be different than the Google account profile photo, which can make it difficult to know which picture will be displayed where.
This new change simplifies things by allowing a user to set a single profile picture in one place and then displaying that single photo across all Google apps.
