"Wish I could downvote suggestions"
I'm glad you can't because this is merely reactionary.
"This is a very stupid feature because protonmail is a privacy company. Adding pictures would give proton more sensitive data to store and could deanonymize the users"
Why would they store it? Proton's security is client-side.
"Uh - No thank you. I want LESS pictures on the web. That's why I'm in a Secure Mail Client"
Irrelevant. Don't upload one. Use an AI generated face from this-person-does-not-exist.com.
Yes I would really like to have this feature. It is not as critical as having threaded messages in the Android app. But it would be nice to be able to use my corporate logo.
But sadly we have all figured out by now that when Proton says something is "planned", it's code for "will not happen anytime in the next millennium".
Because if they meant to implement it, it would take a day or two.

I'm seriously trying to use Proton Mail for professional use, with content that needs security and encryption, but adding a Profile Picture is also needed to assure trust to many stakeholders. Without this makes, it a much more challenging proposition to upgrade to the fully paid version. Do you know if this coming anytime soon? Don't make it obligatory, but at least optional.

This is a must for business owners and their logos... if someone chooses not to use one, then don't... I signed up to use Proton for business and am sorely disappointed this wasn't an included feature.
Please add this, Protonmail!

Protonmail started adding a picture to my outgoing mail. It seems to be what is called a profile picture. The picture they using is from my Zoom account.
How did they gain access to it?
How can I stop the addition of a picture or change picture, if I can't delete it?

Some people think it's unnecessary and against privacy (just don't put your image, I guess?), some others like me use this service to run a company's communications, and think it makes a difference to recipients if your company's logo is clearly visible. Proton's mission is not to make a service only for those who think it's an unnecessary feature, but ideally to step into the game and offer a real alternative to large internet players, and that includes features that are not essential to private communication, but also to marketing and company identity.

+1. Privacy and anonymity are two distinct concepts. Profile pictures may disturb anonymity, but do not compromise privacy. The ability to add profile pictures is critical for a modern email provider and does not go against Proton's mission.

Proton promises privacy. Pictures do not. I'll bet you have a Facebook account, too!

Many influencers are using nude selfies as their profile picture. I think it gave them more followers by doing that. I often ask, why people enjoy sending nudes over mobile devices?

This would be cool, but my vote is for the engineering cycles to focus on feature parity and cohesion parity with Google Suite tools. I think a profile feature is inevitable, but maybe we should stay focused on making the tools usable for professionals first? For example, not a single person in my company of 1000's could use Proton Calendar for this single reason alone:

Also, would love to have a widget to add to my home screen.

Yes, please! When will this be available?!

Yes, this is a must have. While I get, ProtonMail is about privacy and many people probably won’t want a picture of themselves, when using the service for business emails it can assist clients when they see a picture that represents the account instead of a blank profile picture.

I also want to see the profile pictures on the emails that I receive.
