# Enabling, uploading, and deleting profile pictures

This article is written for: ✅ Zello Work  ❌ Zello Friends & Family.

Network administrators can enable Zello’s **User Profile Picture** setting through the management console. 

A few notes about profile pictures: 

- Admins must enable user profile pictures in the management console.
- Users can change their own profile pictures in the app. Admins can change profile pictures for all network users in the management console. 
- Admins can delete user profile pictures via the management console. 
- Channel pictures must be changed by an admin in the management console. Users cannot change channel pictures. 

### **Admins: enabling and disabling profile pictures **

1. Sign in to your management console at *yournetworkname*.zellowork.com
2. From the taskbar, select **Settings**.

#### **Android: **

1. Open the Zello menu, located in the upper-right corner of your screen
2. Select **Options.**
3. Select **Profile. **
4. Tap the camera icon. Then, either take a photo or select a photo from your device. 
5. Your photo should now be displayed next to your display name.

### **Benefit of this feature**

The inclusion of profile pictures is yet another way to ensure users know who they are speaking with. Furthermore, adding pictures to both user profiles and channels will enhance recognition of the intended message recipient. This is especially beneficial when using Zello’s search function to find the recipient, as users can quickly identify the channel/contact.
