Change Your Profile Picture on Instagram

 

Change Your Instagram Profile Picture in the Mobile App

On your iPhone or Android phone, use the Instagram app to update your profile picture.

To start, first, launch the Instagram app on your phone. In the app, from the bar at the bottom, select the profile icon (which is the last icon in that row).

You will reach your profile screen. Here, beneath your profile details, tap the “Edit Profile” option.

On the “Edit Profile” page, beneath your current profile picture, tap “Change Profile Photo.”

From the bottom of your app, Instagram will open a “Change Profile Photo” menu.

If you want to replace your profile picture with a picture saved on your phone, tap “New Profile Photo” in the menu. To add a photo from your Facebook profile, tap “Import from Facebook.”

Tip: Use the “Remove Profile Photo” option if you simply want to delete the current picture from your Instagram profile.

We’ll choose the “New Profile Photo” option.

Instagram will open your phone’s gallery. Here, select the photo that you’d like to make your profile picture on Instagram. When you select a photo, the app will display editing options.

Optionally, edit your photo.

Then, at the top-right corner of the edit screen, tap the right-arrow icon.

Instagram will take you to your profile page, and you will see your new profile picture there. You’re all set.
