default avatar
Unset user icon
A default avatar is the generic placeholder image assigned to user accounts before they upload a personal photo.
Social platforms and forums display these stock silhouettes, geometric shapes, or randomly generated patterns when users haven't customized their profiles: Half the commenters still have the default avatar.
The term sometimes implies an anonymous or low-investment user.
