Android 15 does a better job of syncing Google account profile pictures to Pixel

In the latest Android 15 beta update, Google has introduced improved support for syncing and using your profile picture from your Google account.

Here's What We Know

The Google Account profile picture is used in various Google online services and is also displayed in Android. Until now, Android has been able to use the Google Account profile picture in some places, such as when setting up multiple users on a device.

Here's What's New About It

In the Android 15 beta, this support has been significantly improved. Now, changes to the profile picture of any Google account you're signed into on your device are automatically synced to Android. This means you can easily select from multiple profile pictures and they will be updated on your device instantly.

In the past, changing your profile picture on another device could result in your Android device not showing the updated picture. Now the synchronisation process is faster and more reliable.

However, this change may only apply to Pixel devices. The avatar selection tool is called the "Google Pixel Avatar App", which means that it is probably only intended for Google devices.

The avatar selection tool is called the "Google Pixel Avatar App" and provides a profile picture synced from the user's account in the Settings and SystemUI apps on the device.
