In Threema, you can set a profile picture that represents you in your chat partners’ contact lists. You can fully control who is allowed to see your profile picture. Set a profile picture as follows:
Android
Open the “My Profile” tab
Tap the camera icon in the white circle (or in the current profile picture) below “Profile picture and nickname”
Choose between “Take photo” and “Select from gallery”
Crop the image, and confirm by tapping “Crop”
To define who can see your profile picture, tap the option below “Who can see your profile picture?”
iOS
Navigate to the “Profile” tab, tap “Edit,” , and choose between the camera icon (take photo) and the image icon (choose existing)
Crop the image, and confirm by tapping “Choose”
To choose who is allowed to see your profile picture, select the recipients under “Profile picture”
For privacy reasons, profile pictures are not stored on a server, they are transmitted between users upon message exchange and are end-to-end encrypted.
The next time you send someone a message, your profile picture will be transmitted automatically (provided your settings allow it). Alternatively, you can transmit your profile picture manually to a contact by tapping “Send profile picture now” in the contact’s detail view.
If a contact has disabled profile pictures, your profile picture will not be displayed in their contact list and chat overview.
