Instagram doesn’t send you notifications about your profile picture. Therefore, the chances are that you mistook it for another one. The app notifies its users about six categories:

• Messages
• Followers and following

• From Instagram
• Fundraisers

Your profile picture on Instagram is a small snapshot you upload to represent your account.
If your account is just about you and your life, chances are your photo will be a selfie or a shot of yourself with a friend, partner, or pet.
If you have a business account, you might feature a photo of a product you're selling. Whatever you decide to use as your profile photo, the good news is that it can be changed quickly and as often as you'd like.
If you decide to change your Instagram profile picture, you can do so via the app or via the Instagram website in a few steps. Here's how to do it.
Instagram profile picture sizeYour Instagram profile picture should be at least 1000 by 1000 pixels.
Instagram profile pictures are compressed until they measure 320 by 320 pixels — and a circular cutout is displayed that is a mere 110 by 110 pixels. The higher resolution the photo that you start out with is, the better the compressed outcome will be.
As such, it is advised that you upload a picture that is at least 1000 by 1000 pixels and has the elements you want featured in the center, so as to avoid being cropped out.
1. Locate the Instagram app icon on your iPhone or Android and tap to open it.
2. Tap on your profile button in the far-right corner of the menu bar running along the bottom of your screen.
3. On your profile page, tap Edit Profile.
4. On the Edit Profile screen, tap Change profile photo.
5. From the pop-up menu that appears, choose to either import a photo from Facebook, take a new photo on your phone's camera, or choose one from your phone's photo library.
6. Choose the photo you wish to upload and move it within the round circle to crop it.
7.
Click Done to complete the change.
1. Go to the Instagram website on your Mac or PC and login using your account username and password.
2. Click on your username on the right-hand side of your home screen to go to your profile page. Alternatively to this, you can skip to step 4 by clicking on your existing profile picture located on the menu bar running across the top of your screen and then clicking on Settings.
3.
On your profile page, click Edit Profile.
4. Under your username, click on Change Profile Photo.
5. Click Upload Photo.
6. Select the photo you want to upload as your new Instagram profile picture from your computer, then click Open. Once the button is clicked,, your profile photo will then be uploaded and applied to your account.
Quick tip: Alternatively to steps 3 and 4, if you are viewing your profile already, you can click on your profile picture and skip to step 5.

There are many businesses and bloggers in the Russian segment of Instagram* and Facebook* who would like to transfer their existing business accounts to audiences in other countries, but the button " promote" turned off. And you can’t just link a card of another country. The advertising account itself is considered Russian and is blocked by Instagram.
It's a pity to lose the accumulated audience and create a new account (especially if you have already accumulated 20-50-100-200 thousand). But no one saw the way out. Up to this day.

It was today that I discovered how to reset the country and enter a new one. I tell you what I did.
Disclaimer 1: It's not a fact that you need to repeat all the steps. I cannot confirm or deny with 100% accuracy that none of this can be skipped.
Disclaimer 2: We are in Thailand now, we have a Thai sim card.
So, we drove the procedure by day.
Day 1: Like many, I decided to create a completely new account. To do this, I created a new Google mail with a link to a local phone. When registering, I indicated the country of Thailand.
A new Instagram account was created with reference to this mail and phone number. Created from desktop. I uploaded 1 post, signed up for 5 world accounts and left it for a couple of days to rest.
All new accounts should be allowed to lie down, because there is a risk of blocking forever.
Day 2: Created a new personal Facebook account. With reference to the new mail and local phone. And again let it lie down for a couple of days. From another account, my colleague tried to look at the country of the new profile and could not find this info.
Day 4: Logged into insta and fb from my phone. I uploaded a post to Instagram and stories from my phone. Made a couple more subscriptions. Mentioned this account in another personal profile, got about 8 subscriptions. A minimum of actions, everything should look organic. Otherwise, insta can delete the account without explanation.
Created a business page from the FB desktop.
Day 5: Uploaded a post and story from my phone to Instagram again. Made a couple more subscriptions, liked a few photos. I went to settings to switch to a business account. And I found that the choice of the country and currency to which the profile is attached takes place at this very moment.
And yes, you can't really change it anymore. And then a bold idea came to my mind, which I tested on one old account, from which there was almost no action.
I logged into my Russian business account and transferred it back to my personal account. And then I switched back to business and Instagram offered me to re-select the country and currency. To do this, I have already become attached to the new "Thai" FB page. And bingo, it worked. This account has never run ads before and no cards have been linked, so I repeated the procedure with another profile. And again everything worked out. This hack is still working.
Naturally, only foreign cards can be linked. And pay only if you have already received citizenship of another country or are transferring your account to a citizen of another country. Because the Russians are still prohibited from sponsoring terrorist organizations. And Instagram and Facebook are now exactly them.
I must mention that in the process you will lose all previous statistics.
Evaluate in advance what is more important for you: the function of advertising in new countries or old statistics.
I'm writing this because a lot of small businesses feel like they're losing the game of monopoly. Either a pass, or a surprise card “pay taxes,” or deprivation of many opportunities.
If this information helps you achieve something new, that would be great.
And besides the information, here's a promo code for you all VC15 for the purchase of absolutely amazing postcards in my company. Reducing the cost of purchasing cool related products for your business is also cool.
