Google My Account - Profile Name

My account does not show the Name, this is causing an issue when I tried to connect an extension at Gmail

The image is not visible due to forum settings.


Also, I can't change the gender

The image is not visible due to forum settings.


During a call with Google One Support, we tried also change in "About me" page

But it shows an error without details about it

The image is not visible due to forum settings.


Someone can help me?

Please update my true caller private and profile should be confidential and update gold premium package of true caller

Me too, unfortunately ( exactly like you )  since a long time. ( tons of users )

Everything has started from "nowhere" in a moment i don't know even now if it's related to something or not.

I tried everything but nothing, i can't post a local guide , review or change the private or public of my profile ( work etc ) my others google account are perfect but this one is my primary one.

Send a request for support maybe they will hear us if we are more.

I have 3 tickets of support active at the moment. ( months with no response - google ONE support)  i don't know what to do.

And YES i have NO NAME or profile picture or cover image ( they disappear ) cannot set them again just like you (even gender) it's NOT related to cookie - cache etc but at source.

Cheers!

hey i have a problem with my google account switching my keys on me and i have checked settings and nothing has worked i didn't know what to do from this point on and i would like some help. Any ideas?

NEWS about this matter? i have those problems right now, need a fix

I have the same problem as the OP and as described by Giacomo Angelini; I have a regular google account (no g-suite) which owns a brand account (to manage my YouTube Channel). I changed my names many times in 2019 in order to obtain a custom url for my YouTube (but to no avail), now out of the blue I lost my usual profile picture in December 2019 on both accounts and when I visit https://myaccount.google.com it only says "welcome" and does not mention my name. I don't even see the name in the personal information on myaccount.google.com - like the OP shows - and for the life of me it is impossible to change profile picture (I've tried from 8 different menus, it does not error out and yet, the profile picture still remains the default one). I don't know what to do!

Hello all.

I have the same problem as OP but the only difference on why I can't update my account is that previously, my account is unlawfully disabled by Google. I was able to recover my account, but I can't update anything.

I have completely lost respect on Google and I don't know what else to do. Do they really want a lawsuit?!
