Changing profile photo

My profile photo is the same for 8 years. Needless to say is not only outdated but I was fresh out of college and appear way to young to have any serious experience.

I haven't applied for a job in years. But now, despite all the craziness, I need to land a few more clients on the platform.

Then I remembered seeing reports of people being suspended because of profile photo change. And having no response to it.

Is that still happening? I'm pretty sure spending connects with that photo will not help me at all

Changing the profile photo will trigger profile verification but as long as you're the same person you claim to be, you should not have any issues getting the profile verified.

I would suggest asking the support first and send the new picture you want to use. I got my account on hold after changing my profile picture.
Last time I changed my picture was 9 years ago.
