How to Change Avatar and Cover (Wallpaper)

Your avatar is your profile picture; your cover (wallpaper) is the large banner at the top of your profile. Here’s how to change both.

In the app (UI)​

  1. Log in and go to Settings (e.g. menu or profile dropdown → Settings).
  2. In the sidebar, open Account (or the section that shows profile picture and wallpaper).
  3. Profile Picture (avatar):
    • Find Profile Picture.
    • Click Choose File (or Upload), select an image (e.g. JPG, PNG).
    • Click Upload. The new avatar will appear after processing.
  4. Profile Wallpaper (cover):
    • Find Profile Wallpaper (or Cover photo).
    • Click Choose File, select an image.
    • Click Upload. The new cover will appear at the top of your profile.
  5. To remove either: use Delete if the option is shown for that image.

Via the API​

Upload avatar:

POST /api/Authentication/avatar
Authorization: Bearer {token}
Content-Type: multipart/form-data

FormData: image (file)

Upload cover (wallpaper):
The backend may expose a dedicated endpoint (e.g. cover or update-profile with file). Check the User Management guide and Update Profile API; cover upload is often part of profile or media APIs.
