3. Sending An Email
To view a Gmail ID’s display picture you need to start by emailing the user. You can’t simply consider the profile picture of the user just by knowing his Gmail ID or address. Write an email to the user and then go to the Sent folder. In the folder, you’ll get the mail you’ve sent to the user whose profile picture you want to see.
Next to the person’s username, you’ll be able to see his profile photo. But if you don’t see a profile picture but only the initial letter of his Gmail ID it means that he doesn’t have a profile picture on his Gmail address.
Even if you get an email as a reply from the user, you’ll be able to check the user’s display picture from that email too. The display picture lies next to the user’s Gmail ID.
🔴 Steps To Follow:
Step 1: Open the Gmail app.
Step 2: Click on Compose.
Step 3: Next, you need to enter the recipient’s email address next to the To box.
Step 4: Enter the subject.
Step 5: Enter your email’s body.
Step 6: Click on the paper plane icon to send the email.
Step 7: Click on the three lines icon.
Step 8: Click on Sent to go to the Sent folder.
Step 9: You’ll find the Gmail user’s picture next to the person’s username on the mail in the Sent folder.
Once you receive a mail from the user as a reply, open it and you’ll be able to see the user’s display picture next to his Gmail ID.
