How Do I Change My Lyft Profile Picture?
Learn how to quickly change your Lyft profile picture on the Lyft app.
Lyft is a ridesharing company with headquarters in San Francisco, California. The company's business model allows customers to hail rides from drivers for a predetermined amount. Lyft also hires drivers who use their own personal vehicles to transport customers. Originally founded in June 2012, the company has expanded to also offering bicycle-sharing services, scooter-sharing services, and food delivery as well.
If you have an account with Lyft and want to change your profile picture, simply follow the steps as outlined below.
Change Your Lyft Profile Picture on the App
- Open the Lyft app on your phone. If you don't have the app downloaded, you can download it from your app store (iPhone) or from Google Play (Android).
- If you're not already signed in, sign in to the app with your phone number and password.
- Select the icon in the top left with the three lines and then select ‘View Profile' underneath your name.
- In the top right corner, select ‘Edit.'
- Click on your profile photo.
- Select ‘Take a photo' or ‘Choose from library.'
- Once you have chosen a photo select ‘Save.'
- You now have a new profile picture!
Lyft Help Forum
Unfortunately, Lyft doesn't have a phone number, live chat, or email address you can contact for customer service help. If you're having difficulties with the process above, you can try to find a solution on Lyft's Help Forum. Most likely, another person has had a similar issue and has already found a solution.
Lyft's Twitter Page
If the two above options don't work for you, another option is to reach out to Lyft on Twitter. You should note that this is not a customer service page so you may not receive a response. You will also have to have a Twitter profile to message them. Choose between tweeting at them and tagging them or send them a direct message. A tweet will be private and can be seen by everyone on Twitter, while a direct message is private. A direct message may be more likely to elicit a response from the company. Additionally, there's no guarantee of how long it will take for Lyft to respond to you on Twitter (if at all).
