To view sender pictures, such as avatars or profile photos, in the Outlook app, you need to adjust a setting within the application. This helps you quickly identify email senders by their associated image.
Here's how to enable the display of sender pictures in your Outlook app:
Enabling Sender Pictures in Outlook
Viewing sender pictures in Outlook involves navigating to the application's settings and activating a specific option. This feature enhances your inbox by adding a visual element next to email senders.
Follow these simple steps:
- Open the Outlook app on your device.
- Navigate to the Settings or Options menu. (The exact location might vary slightly depending on your version of Outlook - often found by clicking your profile picture or a gear icon).
- Look for a section related to Mail settings or Compose and reply.
- In the "Compose and reply" section, turn on the "Show sender pictures" option.
Once you've enabled this option, the Outlook app will display avatars or profile pictures associated with the email address of the sender in your inbox, as well as when you open a specific email. This makes it easier to recognize who an email is from at a glance.
What Are Sender Pictures?
Sender pictures are the small profile photos or avatars that appear next to an email sender's name in your inbox or when viewing an email. These pictures are often linked to the sender's Microsoft account, organizational profile, or sometimes other online profiles.
By showing sender pictures, Outlook provides a more personalized and visual experience, helping you to quickly distinguish between emails from different contacts.
