How often do you change your profile photo?

I want to change mine so bad, but I'm concerned people would be really upset...hahaha...(I know no one would be truly upset, but still.) I just feel like I don't look like that anymore. That pic was taken 13 years ago.

But I agree with you, too, that I prefer faces. I never seem to mind an updated avatar as long as it is someone's face. The icons are a little different. Although I always like how **GypsyGirl** updates hers but always another flamingo shot.

Good time to ask this question. I updated my other social media just a few months ago but it had been at least 3 years since I'd updated here. So the profile pic you now see was just taken this morning. I happened to have taken photos for my annual scrapbook page on recapping the past year and setting goals for the new one.

Thanks!  And that reminds me....time for a new flamingo!  

As for the original question, I get confused when people change icons typically and used to never change min.  During the pandemic I was bored and decided to start changing up the flamingos.  Now I tend to change them for holidays, though I'm always on the lookout for a fun flamingo gif!  

Your post prompted me to update this morning.  Never really think about it though so appreciate your post.  I like this photo better as it is more casual.  My other shot was my professional avatar from work.  Looked a little stuffy to me.  

Mine is a few years old. I was thinking about changing it but need to find an okay picture. I don’t think I photograph well these days.

I've never used an actual photo here. On social media, I change my profile photo every 3-6 months.

Several years ago I changed mine for about a week because I found an old photo of me that looked similar to my avatar, same pose. Then changed it back. I have used my same Avatar for years and years for my return labels on mail. People who know me have always asked if it was me and how did I make it. It does look like me when I was younger and first started using it.

I think about dragging out a bunch of my favorite photos and changing my avatar once a week or so but so far I have been too lazy to do it. That should be my New Years resolution.

I’m so glad you started this thread. Last year I tried to change my avatar picture, but the ones I wanted were all too big. In a slight panic, I chose a recent one that included my grandson, who was a baby in my original avatar. I wasn’t crazy about the picture. But, left it because it was a recent picture of the two of us.
This one is from last year too. ( if it worked )

I never change it here or on IG, which is also not an actual photo of me.

On fb, I change it every 3-6 months and it's usually a current pic of me though occasionally it's of something else.

I don't change mine here - on FB my profile pic is a sunflower for Ukraine atm - I change it every few years maybe and it's usually a flower of some sort

I changed mine awhile back when I realized that the one I had was from my 50th birthday. I'm 62 now. So I changed it to one more current- within the last year. But I don't really like it so might change it again soon. I change my Facebook pic maybe a couple of times per year.

I pretty much still look just as I do in my avatar, so I see no reason to change it.

I have never changed my avatar here ... it's my dd's when they were really small ... I love it!    

I change my FB profile pic a couple of times per year ...

Never. I think if I changed mine here after all these years people might get confused, LOL. I never change it on FB and don’t use a real photo of myself there either. I like to fly under the radar on social media, and in 99.2% of pictures of me I look bad anyway.
