;How many Google photos of me are there

:Google is a bit sneaky, and actually has THREE places they store your photo. If they are all the SAME now, then they'll all change together during our update. We can update one which updates the other (Google+, but who uses that!?) but a third one is actually hiding in your GMail Settings and it's hit or miss whether our process updates it. If you need to change that one, go to GMail Settings / General and scroll down to My Picture.
