I have just been trying to change my avatar, not had a problem before, photo chosen from same photo library as before, same camera. Tried 3 different photos, each time got 'file not of correct format'. Anyone else had a problem recently?

Ann I’ve just tried to change mine whilst using IPad. Clearly hasn’t worked :-( :-(

I suspect the photo I tried is too large

I’ll have to go back to PC to change it back if it doesn’t work I’ll be incognito ;-)

When I first changed my avatar I was working on my Ipad. I've now just changed it

back on my PC. Could this be the problem?
