Where do avatars come from? How can I change them?
Spark pulls avatars from multiple sources, and at the moment, there’s no option to change avatars right in the app.
1. Teams
As a team member, you can set your own avatar regardless of your role. All your team members with avatars enabled will see your photo in both the team and personal conversations.
2. Gravatar
Spark can also pull avatars from your Gravatar profile. If you are not a team member nor a contact in someone’s address book, Spark will search for your avatar on Gravatar.
