With more than 60 million reported Apple Music subscribers, putting a face to your musical profile helps keep you from disappearing in the app's ocean of users.
Fans can update their profile image to celebrate their unique musical interests and favorite artists, while musicians can use it as a semi-professional branding opportunity. When you first use the app and click on the account icon, Apple Music will prompt you to add a photo. But if you opt not to add one, or want to change it, you'll need to tap the account icon again.
Whatever reason you want to change your Apple Music picture, here's how to do it.
