Miniclip’s 8 Ball Pool is one of the most popular online pool games, enjoyed by millions worldwide. One of the fun features of the game is the ability to personalize your profile by adding a profile picture. A custom profile picture can add a personal touch, make you more recognizable to your friends, and enhance your gaming experience. Here’s how you can set or change your profile picture in Miniclip 8 Ball Pool.
1. Connecting Your Account
To use a profile picture in 8 Ball Pool, your account must be linked to a platform that supports profile pictures. Below are the options:
a. Link Your Account to Facebook
- Step 1: Log in to your Miniclip 8 Ball Pool account.
- Step 2: Go to the game settings (gear icon in the menu).
- Step 3: Click the “Login with Facebook” option and enter your Facebook credentials.
- Step 4: Once linked, your Facebook profile picture will automatically sync as your in-game profile picture.
b. Sign in with Miniclip
If you’re using a Miniclip ID:
- Miniclip automatically assigns a default avatar to your account. Unfortunately, as of now, Miniclip doesn’t allow direct uploads of custom profile pictures if you’re only using a Miniclip account.
c. Sign in with Google/Apple ID
If your account is connected to Google Play (Android) or Apple ID (iOS), the game may not use the picture from these accounts directly. You’ll need to rely on linking a Facebook account for a custom picture.
2. Changing Your Profile Picture on Facebook
If your Miniclip account is connected to Facebook, you can change your in-game profile picture by simply updating your Facebook profile picture. Follow these steps:
- Step 1: Open the Facebook app or website.
- Step 2: Update your profile picture on Facebook.
- Step 3: Log out and back into 8 Ball Pool to refresh the connection.
Your updated Facebook profile picture will now appear in 8 Ball Pool.
3. Using Default Avatars
If you don’t want to link your account to Facebook, you can choose from the default avatars available in the game:
- Step 1: Open the game and go to your profile.
- Step 2: Select the avatar section and browse through the available options.
- Step 3: Choose an avatar that best represents you.
While not as personalized as a custom picture, the game provides a variety of fun and colorful avatars.
4. Troubleshooting Profile Picture Issues
Sometimes, your profile picture might not appear in the game or take time to update. Here are some common fixes:
- Ensure Proper Linking: Double-check that your account is properly linked to Facebook.
- Refresh the Game: Close and reopen the app or log out and back in.
- Check Privacy Settings: Ensure your Facebook profile picture is set to “Public” visibility.
- Clear Cache: Clear the app cache if the picture is not updating (on Android or iOS).
5. Privacy and Profile Pictures
If you’re concerned about privacy, remember that anyone in the game can see your profile picture if your account is linked to Facebook. If you don’t want your real picture to appear, you can use a fun, non-identifiable picture as your Facebook profile picture.
Setting up a custom profile picture in Miniclip 8 Ball Pool is simple if your account is connected to Facebook. It’s a great way to personalize your profile and stand out among other players. If you prefer not to link to Facebook, you can still choose from the game’s selection of default avatars. Happy gaming, and enjoy personalizing your profile!
