Note Beginning in Summer ’26, Chatter is turned off by default in all new orgs. For any features in these orgs that require access to Chatter functionality or the Chatter APIs, turn on Chatter by going to **Setup** | **Chatter Settings** and selecting **Enable**. For details, see [Chatter Is Turned Off by Default in New Orgs Beginning in Summer ’26](https://help.salesforce.com/s/articleView?id=experience.collab_chatter_default_off.htm&type=5&language=en_US).

Set up your Chatter profile soon after you begin using Salesforce, and update it often.

Note If your organization doesn’t use Chatter, you can still add and edit personal information.

1. Click the **Chatter** tab and find the placeholder profile image on the left side of the page. Click **Your Name** next to the placeholder image.
2. To update your profile photo, hover over the placeholder image and click **Add Photo**.

    Tip Use a photo of you and not a group of people or a pet. Chatter is a business tool, so choose a photo you don’t mind showing to your boss and CEO.
3. To update your contact information, click ![Image of the pencil icon](https://sf-zdocs-cdn-prod.zoominsoftware.com/tdta-xcloud-basics-264-0-0-production-enus/d8bf6981-f8ef-4f16-bfbd-c42ed32044eb/basics/images/basics_intro_chatter_update_contact_pencil.png) under your profile photo.
