We are updating every employee's Google Account photo to be the same as their new RCS ID photo. The Google Account photo shows up in the upper-right of your GMail window, and presents to recipients of your emails as well as in other locations. It might take up to a day for the change to be seen all over (due to browser caching and stuffs).
Things you want to ask right now
- Gmail profile picture
- Your name and profile picture can be viewed by other people who use Google services, including when you communicate or share content.
- How often are you doing this
