Twitter is getting rid of its default egg profile picture.

The social media giant says it's noticed a pattern between accounts using the image, and those which carried out abuse.

In a blog post, the social media giant added:

"We noticed that some people kept the egg default profile photo because they thought it was fun and cute, but we want people to use this space to show us who they are!

"The new default image feels more like an empty state or placeholder, and we hope it encourages people to upload images that express themselves."

It's going to be replaced by a neutral silhouette, which is designed to look empty or like a placeholder.
