You should be easily recognizable and you are obviously not in this kind of photo. Artistic photos, photos of landscapes, of you as a little child or of your group of friends are for sure very nice but it’s not a good idea to use them for this purpose.

The image you choose as your Whatsapp profile photo should always show yourself and enable others to identify you. Anyway, there are some general guidelines to be followed to avoid unpleasant situations. The only precise standard is about the photo size. Whatsapp doesn’t give strict rules to respect, concerning the content of the photos, as is the case with passport photos.

Your Whatsapp profile photo is an essential element: together with your profile name, it helps other people recognize you.
