How to download the Gmail profile picture

If you want to retrieve the full quality profile picture without ever having uploaded it to Google+, follow these steps: If you have multiple google accounts, open a private window by pressing CTRL + SHIFT + N for Chrome or CTRL + SHIFT + P for Firefox. Go to any google service such as gmail.com and log into the account you wish to retrieve a profile picture of. Go to https://get.google.com/albumarchive Navigate to Profile photos > profile photos. All the profile pictures of your account can be found here. You can use the triple dot button in the top right corner to either download a single picture, download all pictures or delete individual ones. This is also where to find your uploaded Google Maps photos, and all Google Hangouts photos. I hope these keywords help future search-wizards having this problem.

"Could not communicate with Google home mini" error

Image
Problem I am using google home mini for a quite long time connected to my Android phone. All of a sudden my google home app started giving this error. "Could not communicate with Google home mini". The device was visible when the app was searching for devices. I also have a Chrome-cast connected in the same WiFi network which was working fine. Solution worked for me Factory reset Google home mini. There is a small push button at the bottom. Push and hold it until you hear the instructions. The device will ensure whether you really want to factory reset the device. Just continue pressing it to factory reset.  I reinstalled Google home app in my android device. But I think it is not necessary.  Solution that didn't work for me https://www.reddit.com/r/googlehome/comments/768ruu/for_anyone_with_the_could_not_communicate_with/
