In my case, if I signed up with Google/Apple, or authorized with Microsoft account, that account can make Gravatar pic. However, when I signed up using different email from 3rd mail provider, that account cannot make Gravatar pic |

I tested some and my conclusion: the solution is making a new account with Google/Apple account :( or contact to GitHub Support—but I don't trust them |

In my case, if I signed up with Google/Apple, or authorized with Microsoft account, that account can make Gravatar pic. However, when I signed up using different email from 3rd mail provider, that account cannot make Gravatar pic
So... What can I do now?

If I change my pic not remove then I can see "Remove photo" menu but when I clicked the pic is reverted previous photo not removed
i.e. GitHub recognizes the first pic as a default pic so we can't remove it :(

For me it gets even weirder. I tried removing my current profile picture and it worked... but instead of showing the geometric random image, it now shows some random avatar I've used in the past 🤔. |
