Save the image to your desktop. Tap your old avatar. On the page that comes up, you will see your avatar with a little mountain and sun in a little box. Tap that little box and navigate to the desktop image and upload. You may see where it will pop up in a box waiting for you to crop and size it. If it looks good, don’t do any resizing. Just tap upload photo. That should work. Or, even easier, you can just drag and drop the image from your desktop right into the box that pops up when you tap the small sun/mountain box. Then just tap upload. NOTE: If it comes from Bill, always resize to “no crop.” The man is completely humorless about that. 😏 Edited April 29, 2021 by Indigo Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

After I've had a little coffee, I'll post one of the "failures" I tried making for you. Should get a laugh. Oh, one more thing. Try re-upping your avatar. There is a last step where one needs to "adjust the crop." At this last step one pulls the boundaries to the corners, that will give the image a little bit more room (less crowded).
