In 2020, Slack added profile pictures to the list of users in your Direct Messages. If you’re not a fan, there’s a switch that toggles DM profile pictures on or off. Here’s how to remove people’s avatars from your direct message list. Before Slack added profile pictures to the list of users in your DMs, the list just showed names and a circle that indicated whether the user was online.
