Sync an account's profile picture or name

Social account avatars need to be synced when a profile picture or username is changed in the social network. Avatar is another name for profile picture, an image you can upload to customize a profile.

Note: Due to current TikTok limitations, TikTok profile pictures may expire every 24 hours. Sync your TikTok profile regularly to continue seeing its profile picture in Hootsuite. This doesn’t affect any other functionality.
