    To change the gamer picture, you will first need to open the Xbox App from the start menu on your Device.

    Once it opens, you will come to the Activity feed as shown here,

    When you come to this page, you will need to click onto your gamerpic at the top left hand corner, as shown in the image below

    Once you click onto your profile picture (Found in the red box in the image above), it will take you to your profile page where you can see your profile and activity and friends. You will also be able to see a bunch of other options as well, like edit profile
    and appear online/offline.

    You will need to select onto Customize. Once you click onto customize, it will allow you to edit the fields on your profile - including your avatar and gamerpic. For help finding the customize button, please take a look at the screen print below,

    When you have clicked onto Customize, you will then need to select the option to switch to gamerpic on your profile, before you can change your gamerpic. This option is underneath your Avatar, as seen below

    Once this option is selected, it will display your gamerpic. At first, it will be a default one, which Xbox has uploaded themselves, and it may be a random one from their bunch of pics. To change them, you will need to hover into the centre of the gamerpic
    so it says "change gamerpic"

    the image underneath,

  3. Changing your profile picture on the Xbox App

    I'm also trying to change my profile picture, but I don't get that option.

    I'm over 18, I've already complied with the EULA and ToS, but I don't get that option on the PC's Xbox App.

    And if I go to the official website, I don't see the option to customize it, either
