Google Account updates from September 2015
-
Default Google account avatars are being replaced with custom avatars showing the user's initials.
Google is replacing the default account avatar for users with Google+ enabled who have not added a profile photo. The new default avatar will display the account owner's given-name initial, or a plain colored avatar/family name initial if a monogram cannot be generated. This change will first appear in the Google Bar and gradually roll out across all Google products.
