|| When you upload a new profile picture, visitors may not see it on the chatbox until you send a new message. Messages that were already sent keep the avatar they had at the time.

# ${color}[#0080dd](Troubleshooting profile updates)

A few common issues can prevent profile changes from appearing exactly as expected.

#### ${color}[#445055](My preferences are not saved)

Make sure both your **first name** and **last name** are filled in. Crisp needs the required profile fields before saving the account information correctly.

#### ${color}[#445055](My email is already taken)

You cannot use an email address that is already associated with another Crisp account. If the email belongs to an account you previously created, recover that account from the [**password recovery page**](https://app.crisp.chat/initiate/recover/) instead.

#### ${color}[#445055](My avatar is not updating on the chatbox)

The chatbox avatar can take a little context to refresh. Send a new message to a visitor after updating your picture, then check again from a fresh visitor session.

| To test your avatar as a new visitor, open your website in a private or incognito window.
