I thought I was giving feedback to Accounts & payments. It seems I've been redirected to Proton Mail.My comments were directed at a different item, making these-Not appropriate? Being able to add a personal pic on this forum versus being able to add a personal pic to an email account is...
(laughing at my self) Like thinking you're entering a nude event, you open the door, strut in wearing only a smile, with the door closing behind you as you realize you've entered a Formal Dress Required event.
I'll leave the comment ... as... Food for thought.
Are we here to improve Proton, or for self-recognition?Profile: a collection of personal details about oneself that one curates and shares on an online platform (such as a blog or a social media service)
To feature adding one's own picture would require screening of each picture for x-rated material, racial content, Hate speech, etc.
Providing these necessities to "add a Profile Picture" comes at a cost.
The expense associated with (that) would be paid by subscribers.
Put simply; It would increase the price of Proton.For two reasons;
1. We are here to improve Proton, not to inflate one's ego of self-importance or to promote ANY account or Brand Identity.
Social media platforms were created with the concept of inflating one's ego Highlighted.
2. Increase the price of Proton.Ability to add Profile Pictures gets a 👎

I have a business account and it is critical for other professionals to see our faces. I love Proton for DNS forwarding but not being able to have our own profile pictures is a hard disadvantage. Please implement this feature!

All my other email providers make it easy to add a sender image next to my email name/address, rather than first and last name initials. It is a standard within the industry. Why NOT within the protonmail.com environment?

Pictures of my contacts are very important to me. I think it would be a great addition. Until then I still have to use GMail contacts which I would rather not do.

We kindly request the amazing Proton team to implement this feature. It would be truly wonderful for each user to have a profile picture, we appreciate your efforts and respect you all.

This is a feature I really want. When you host your own domain (and email for that domain) on Protonmail, your favicon for your website shows up for your profile image in your emails. At least it does for me when I view them from em-Client. This might be a workaround for some, until Protomail supports profile pictures.

Please add the option for the profile picture in the account, instead of just the initials. Please!

Just signed up for the ultimate plan without realizing this was not supported. I was hoping to include an image to make my business account more official.

Would love this. More options to personalize your Proton account would be fantastic, and this would be great feature for all, especially if it's expanded across all Proton services and not just Mail.
Different profile pictures for different identity's/addresses would be fantastic too.
Please implement this :)

i aint freaking out over it, but it does seem like a pretty big fail on your part, not to include it as a feature.
Like everyone is saying, its 2024.
Certain things are expected.

I appear to have one which I would like to change, but can't remember what I did to add it or where I found the option. It is not a photographic image but an iconised image (jpg, gif, usw). I think it was below the Request a Feature line in the grey dot dropdown. I have had an OS upgrade since whenever I did it last month, so it could be related to that.
People using non-Proton Mail accounts can see it when they receive my emails, but I cannot see anything other than the grey dot in my Proton Mail desktop app.

It honestly feels like a pretty basic feature to call the product done.

If privacy remains a concern regarding profile pictures, perhaps a pop-up could display before a user uploads their picture telling them not to use a photo of their face in order to retain their privacy. For example, a company logo or scenic landscape photo could be used. Adding profile photos would make Proton users appear more professional and improve the reputation of Proton services. Lacking a profile picture gives the impression to users of other email providers that we haven't put in the effort to finish setting up our email accounts.

Having a profile picture for each individual identity/address would be a really nice addition, and seems like it'd be simple enough to finish implementing.
Profile pictures are more than just a chat application feature. It can be used to brand your addresses for business/work reasons. It's even useful for just personal use. Similar reason why videos have thumbnails, phone/pc apps have icons, and just about every other email service has it: profile pictures help make you stand out. When I glance at my inbox, it takes me no time at all to identify the different services, all thanks to the profile pictures.
People screaming that it's an invasion of privacy are ridiculous. It's an opt-in feature that only people you're in contact with will see. If you're also already given the ability to share ANY FILE YOU WANT using Proton Drive, then what's stopping them from allowing me to use & share a basic 32x32 image?
I see no reason at all not to include it and it's just a little baffling it still isn't.
