Why won't my profile picture change?

Modified on Wed, 10 Jul at 11:36 AM

If you change your account's profile picture, sometimes the old profile picture continues to be displayed. This is probably because the old profile picture is cached on iNaturalist's servers or by your web browser's cache.


  • Please wait up to 15 minutes and refresh the page. The new profile picture should appear.
  • If that doesn't work, try hard refreshing the page with your web browser. See this page for instructions on hard refreshing, or perform a web search for the term.
