    Improve privacy controls and security for Xbox profile pictures


    Xbox profile pictures are part of our identity, but not every player wants their image to be public. Right now, there are limited options to control who can see your profile picture. Xbox should offer more privacy settings and security features to protect users and give them control over their visual identity.

    Suggestions: – Add a visibility toggle for profile pictures (e.g. public, friends only, private) – Let users blur or watermark their profile image for public view – Allow custom privacy settings for different groups (friends, followers, strangers) – Add reporting tools for stolen or misused profile images – Enable temporary profile pictures or status-based images (e.g. “Do Not Disturb” mode) – Include notifications when someone views or interacts with your profile image – Let users lock profile changes with a PIN or 2FA for extra protection

    These features would help players feel safer and more in control of their Xbox identity — especially in public spaces like Clubs, multiplayer lobbies, and community posts.

    Very new account

    Hi there and welcome to Xbox!

    If you take a look at these links it will provide you with all the information you need to know about setting parental controls and content filters on the account.

    -

    Parental controls:

    -

    Online Privacy and Security:

    Also you can indeed use the account you created on the PC for the Xbox, just make sure to select the 'Download Profile' option when on the console:

    Thank you for the information. Privacy and Security should be in-built in the service itself. Hopefully, in future there are more improvements on this front.

    Xbox settings on Windows 10

    Open Windows 10 Xbox App

    Click on your profile picture at the left side bar to open your profile

    Click on More and Click on Privacy

    You should be forwarded to the privacy section of Xbox website :)

    I had the same issue. Its your privacy settings on your xbox live account. Go to account page - my profile - on the welcome page showing your name, gamer tag and gamer picture it should show three options on the right of the profile picture saying "appear
    online, customize profile, and privacy options" go to privacy options and confirm that you are set to adult defaults.
