Picture on Profile

[Holly_A]

I would like to suugest the option of adding our own pictures or avitars WITHOUT linking it to our Facebook accounts.

I know there are some of us that were fortunate enough to get Spotify before it linked with Facebook and I would love to add my picture on the account page.

If this request is here for so long.. and nothing. What will be of the 2FA request then..?

Hey Spotify, gives an account avatar without facebook!

So, any news on this matter? =/

[_Ravaeron_]

Yes please.

So is it possible to have a profile pic without Facebook?

[user-removed]

Very good!!! I think so too-:)

@thedogmx - no, it is currently not possible, that’s why all these hundreds of replies are on this discussion. It would be an easy thing for Spotify to do, however they are not doing it, probably due to their agreements with Facebook (i.e. they want people to sign up with Facebook rather than with their email.)

darn, it's 2016 and this is still a thing? It's ridiculous we can't change our avatar in this day and age. This is some primitive **bleep** right here, homies.

Still no avatar for non-facebook users. I have no Facebook account and all facebook services (DNS Names and IP addresses) are blocked on my network. It would be simple to allow avatar upload or use gravatar as an alternative.

 I totally agree!

The users endpoint of Spotify API (User’s Profile Spotify API)

https://api.spotify.com/v1/users/{user_id}

returns an user object, it already has  fields for user display_name and user images (red in table below).

user object (public)

display_name	string	The name displayed on the user's profile. null if not available.
external_urls	an external URL object	Known public external URLs for this user.
followers	A followers object	Information about the followers of this user.
href	string	A link to the Web API endpoint for this user.
id	string	The Spotify user ID for this user.
images	array of image objects	The user's profile image.
type	string	The object type: "user"
uri	string	The Spotify URI for this user.

So, implementing a way of modifying it can't be that hard.
