How to make Gmail profile picture private

A lot of people have social media profiles and email profiles with different providers. With the large number of profile photos and information accessible to anyone, security is crucial for many people. Whoever you are, it's important that all of your accounts are secure. If you have a Gmail account, it is possible to set it up so that even your profile picture is private. It is quite easy and you will feel more secure when reading your emails.

Steps

Step 1. Go to the Gmail web page

Open your browser. Once it's open, type www.gmail.com in the address bar and press Entrance. This takes you to the Gmail login screen.

Step 2. Log into your account

To log in, click on the text box in the middle and enter your email address. Then click on the box just below and enter your password. Click on the button Log in below to access your account.

Once you are logged in, you are on your Gmail inbox page. On the right, you can click on the small cogwheel

Step 3. Go to the Settings page

Select the cogwheel and a drop-down menu appears. Push the button Settings, which is the 3rd from the top. This takes you to the Gmail settings page.

If by chance you find yourself in another menu, look at the top of the screen, just below Settings. The first option from the left is General. Click on it to be on the General page, in the Settings.
