Question

Skype on iPad

Sep 28, 2012 3:13AM PDT

I changed my profile picture on Skype on my iPad. Now how do I get it to change on other people's computers? My husband's Skype on his computer still shows my old picture.

So they have to do something on their end?

I think when my girlfriend changed her picture I got it automatically. I can't push my new picture out to them? Thanks for the link I'll try it on my husband's computer.

You will find folk that think it should be instant. But it's not. Go figure.

No, you can't push it.

I can't change my contact picture on my husband's computer. So I think I need to do something to send it out to everyone. Guess I'll try logging out and back in to my Skype account. Maybe that will reset it.

...updated photo yet and want to, have them logout of Skype first, then run an app called 'ccleaner'. This should clear the local cache (if Skype also saves it locally). Then power off the PC and turn it on again, then login to Skype. Give that a try anyway.

automatic

It should do it automatically, but there might be a delay between the two. If it doesn't change for a while, maybe try changing it through your PC browser and see if that works.
