How do I change my name or profile photo?

Reviewed October 17, 2026

Open Account Management → Profile Settings, change your name or photo and save with Done. Inside a chat you can also tap your own name or avatar and choose Profile on small screens or Edit Profile on larger screens. Saving or going back returns to the chat.

Answer

Uploading a photo is optional. If needed, Hashchats generates the profile image and thumbnail before completing setup. The photo form shows pending work while Done is busy. Navigation and inputs remain unavailable during required saving or photo work.

If Profile Saved says the next screen could not open, tap Done to retry navigation without repeating the confirmed save. Incomplete setup offers Log Out to switch accounts; setup is still required on return. Required fields keep visible labels and show errors beside the field.
