How to Change Your Spotify Picture on iPhone or iPad

Last Updated: February 25, 2018

This wikiHow teaches you how to update your profile photo in Spotify when you’re using an iPhone or iPad. Since it’s not an option in the Spotify app, you must connect the app to Facebook and then update your Facebook profile photo.

Part 1 of 2:
Linking Spotify with Facebook

1
Open Spotify on your iPhone or iPad. It’s the green icon with three black curved lines inside.

Tap Your Library. It’s at the bottom-right corner of Spotify.
3
Tap the gear icon. It’s at the top-right corner of the screen.
4
Tap Social.
5
Scroll down and tap Connect to Facebook…. It’s under the “Facebook” header.
- If your account is already connected to Facebook, you’ll see the option to disconnect instead.
6
Select how you will sign in to Facebook. If you have the Facebook app on your iPhone or iPad, tap Log in with the Facebook app. If not, tap Log in with phone or email to access a sign-in screen in your browser.
7
Enter your Facebook login information and tap Log In.
8
Tap Continue as <your name>. This gives Facebook and Spotify permission to connect and returns you to Spotify.

Question

How do you put a profile pic on Spotify without Facebook?

Community Answer

You don't need Facebook to change your profile picture. If you log into Spotify via your laptop/computer and click on your profile, you can change it that way.
Question

It doesn't stay though. I have done it but when I open the app again, it's gone.

In the past, Spotify could not be changed from a mobile phone, but now you can go to the edit playlist and click change photo and then you choose what photo you want.
