Local guides profile photo

After exhaustive research and experimentation I stumbled across the way to change my Google local guides profile photo. I simply signed up with connect and then my photo updated! I don’t know why and there is no other way to change your profile photo that I am aware of. If you had to change your profile photo for Google local guides how would you do it?

Hi, @dereknbella2 , this is extremely simple

Google Maps, like all google products and also Local Guides Connect, display the profile photo of your Google account.

For replacing / adding a photo on the profile, follow the link to the account setting page, then click on the circle where now the photo is, or should be, to add/replace a photo.

Are you looking for an option to have a different profile picture on Connect @dereknbella2 ?

Incidentally, that’s not possible at present.

Nevertheless, that will be a helpful option and needs a suggestion in the idea exchange.

Hi @dereknbella2 ,

Thanks for reaching out to us!

Since the response of @ErmesT gave you an answer to your query, I will accept his comment as a solution. This way if another Local Guide has a similar doubt, the explanation can be found easier. More information on that matter is available in this article.
