How do I change my Xbox photo?

The only way you can change your icon at the moment is through the system itself via USB or

the PC app.

I notice that when I'm in the game and look at the photo, there is some info regarding the pic that I feel may have something to do with it. It has the usual Date/ Time stamp, but there is also a heading called Privacy and under it is the word 'Private'.

I'm assuming that's the issue, now all I need to do is figure out how to change the privacy status of the photo!

Hello, and thanks for getting in touch. I'm Aileen, and I'm here to provide you with advice as an Independent Advisor.

Memorie, if you want to use a photo from your phone as your Xbox background, you can do that by sending the photo to your Xbox through the Xbox app or OneDrive. Here’s how to do it step-by-step:

Option 1: Use the Xbox mobile app (quick method for screenshots or photos)

On your phone, install the Xbox app (iOS or Android)

Sign in with the same Xbox account you use on your console

Upload the photo to your Xbox activity feed (you can make it private)

Go to your Xbox console

Open the Xbox app on your console, view your profile, and find the uploaded image

Open the image full screen, press the Menu button, and select Set as background

Option 2: Use OneDrive (more control over files)

Install the OneDrive app on your phone

Upload the photo to your OneDrive account

On your Xbox, install and open the OneDrive app

Sign in and browse to the photo

View it in full screen, press the Menu button (three lines), and choose Set as background

Once it’s set, it’ll appear as your console wallpaper behind your home screen tiles.

Please let me know if you need any further assistance. Looking forward to your response.

Do you remember using a file explorer app to transfer the photos?
Or did you use a different app for this purpose?

How do I get my photo of my face to show in the black box that has the question mark in it??
