How do I change profile picture?

Hi @undone tundra. I'm kapa.ai, your friendly support bot. I will try to answer your question by searching through the knowledge base. :wave:

#

I'm sorry, but according to the available knowledge sources, Warp does not currently support changing your profile picture directly within the app. The profile picture shown in Warp is determined by the email or login method you used to register (e.g., GitHub or Gmail). For example, users who sign up with GitHub will see their GitHub profile picture, while those who sign up with Gmail may only see an initial or a blank avatar, as there is no integration to fetch the Gmail profile photo at this time. There is no built-in option to upload or customize your profile picture in Warp as of now.

This limitation has been noted by users and is being tracked as a feature request, but there is no indication that this feature is currently available or when it might be implemented. If this feature is important to you, you can upvote or subscribe to the relevant feature request to show your interest and receive updates in the future Customize or disable profile picture and Change Warp account info (email address / name / photo).

If you want to use a different profile picture, the only current workaround is to create a new Warp account using a different login method (such as GitHub) that has the desired profile picture, but this is not an ideal solution and may result in loss of data or settings associated with your original account.

Note: you can ask me a follow up question by @ mentioning me again :speech_balloon:

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

I'm here to provide accurate information about Warp based on the available knowledge sources. If you're asking for an opinion or subjective perspective ("don't you think?"), I must clarify that I do not have personal opinions. My responses are based solely on the documentation and user reports provided.

Regarding the profile picture feature in Warp: many users have expressed frustration about not being able to change or customize their profile picture, and this feedback has been noted in several feature requests and discussions. The Warp team is aware of this feedback, but as of now, there is no built-in way to change your profile picture directly in the app, and no official timeline for when this might be addressed. If you feel strongly about this, you can add your support to the relevant feature requests to help prioritize the issue for future development Change Warp account info (email address / name / photo), Customize or disable profile picture.

If you have a specific question about Warp's features or need help with something else, please let me know!

@soft bridge is it not cringe that we can't change or just disable the profile picture, instead we HAVE TO have an ugly letter at the topright?

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

Based on the knowledge sources, many Warp users have expressed frustration about not being able to change or disable the profile picture in the top right corner. Several users have described the inability to customize or hide the profile picture as distracting or unnecessary, and some have specifically called out the default display of a single letter (the initial) as undesirable. There are open feature requests asking for the ability to either customize or remove the profile picture, but as of now, Warp does not provide this functionality. The Warp team is aware of this feedback, but there is no indication of when or if this feature will be implemented Customize or disable profile picture.

So, while I don't have personal opinions, the sentiment you described is shared by a number of users in the Warp community, and your feedback aligns with ongoing discussions and requests for improvement.

@soft bridge they're releasing a new update like every day, a single display: none is hard for them?

#

You are correct that Warp has a frequent release schedule, with updates often coming out weekly or even more often. Many users have expressed frustration about the frequency of updates and the lack of simple UI options—such as hiding certain elements with a display: none approach. Specifically, users have requested the ability to hide or disable distracting UI elements like the update banner, profile picture, and other buttons, but these requests have not yet been implemented despite the rapid pace of releases.

Users have pointed out that implementing a simple toggle or hiding an element (such as the profile picture or update dot) should be a relatively straightforward UI change, and have questioned why such feedback has not been addressed given the frequency of updates. The Warp team has acknowledged this feedback and made some improvements (like moving the update notification to a less intrusive dot), but there is still no built-in option to fully hide these elements. The frustration about this is echoed in several user comments and feature requests Customize or disable profile picture, Toggle auto-update / update banner.

In summary, your sentiment is shared by many in the Warp community, and while the technical change may seem simple, it has not yet been prioritized or implemented by the Warp team.

@soft bridge then what IS being prioritized right now?

soft bridgeBOT
#

Let me check the knowledge base for you again. One moment! :books:

#

Based on the available knowledge sources, Warp is currently prioritizing a mix of core experience improvements, new features, and user-requested enhancements. Recent and upcoming priorities include:

  • Performance improvements: Significant boosts to PTY throughput, memory usage, and overall speed are being rolled out, with more enhancements planned for early 2025.
  • Core usability features: Recent updates have included support for Linux, the ability to use Warp without requiring login, same-line prompt, removal of padding in vim/neovim, persistent window sizing, and settings import from iTerm2.
  • Session and tab management: Features like session navigation palette, launch configurations, customizable tab colors and names, and the ability to hide the tab bar (Zen mode) have been added.
  • UI/UX improvements: There have been efforts to consolidate top bar navigation items, make scrollbars and pane controls only show on hover, and allow hiding of certain UI elements like the tab bar.
  • AI and collaboration: While AI features are a focus, there is now an option to disable all AI features and remove them from the UI if desired.
  • File navigation and editing: Upcoming features include a revamped file-editing experience and native file tree support.
#

The Warp team is also actively soliciting and responding to user feedback via GitHub issues, and many recent changes have been direct responses to popular user requests. However, some UI customization requests—such as hiding the profile picture or certain team features—have not yet been implemented, despite ongoing user feedback 2024 in review, Small But Mighty New Features in Warp, Changelog 2025.01.08.

If you have a specific feature request, the best way to influence prioritization is to upvote or comment on the relevant GitHub issue, as the team uses this feedback to help guide their roadmap.

Have you checked the Git issues list to see if there is anything there or submit a feature request for it. Pretty sure the devs are focusing on things the majority of users need and want over a profile pic, not that it's not an important feature to some but, just saying.

I'd suggest adding a feature request if one does not exist and let others vote on the importance, this way it helps devs know where to focus their engineering time.
